5	5	WHEREAS, Texas is the only state in the nation whose name
6	6	officially refers to friends or friendship, as its name derives
7	7	from the Caddo Indian word for friends; and
8	8	WHEREAS, In February 1930, the Texas Legislature
9	9	demonstrated great wisdom when it voted to officially designate our
10	10	state motto as "Friendship"; and
11	11	WHEREAS, The phenomenal friendliness and accompanying
12	12	extroversion of Texans are a most impressive cultural strength of
13	13	our state, calling to mind the words of President Lyndon B. Johnson
14	14	of Texas, who famously said "that there are no enemies in this
15	15	world, only potential friends"; and
16	16	WHEREAS, The cities of Eagle Pass, Dallas, and Burkburnett
17	17	each host annual friendship festivals and, for the first time,
18	18	Houston hosted a friendship festival in 2009 that is expected to
19	19	become an annual event; and
20	20	WHEREAS, Currently, there is no major statewide
21	21	friendship-themed annual civic event open to the general public; a
22	22	day devoted to friendship would promote a healthy dialogue about
23	23	personal friendships and enrich the lives of all participants; now,
24	24	therefore, be it
25	25	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 81st Texas
26	26	Legislature hereby recognize August 2, 2009, as Texas Friendship
27	27	Day and encourage all Texans to reflect on the meaning of
28	28	friendships in their own lives.
