recognize the physicians, residents, medical students, and
alliance members of the Texas Medical Association, who will be
visiting the State Capitol on the first Tuesday of each month
during the 84th Legislative Session; and

WHEREAS, Today, the association is the nation's largest state
medical society; since 2003, its members from around the state

great commitment to improve the effectiveness of their
profession, and they are truly deserving of recognition for their
outstanding efforts; now, therefore, be it
