H.C.R. No. 59
HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
WHEREAS, For too long, Congress has proven itself fiscally
irresponsible and has created a crushing national debt through
improvident and imprudent spending; and
WHEREAS, The deleterious effect of this fiscal mismanagement
on our economy and the strength of our nation is ongoing and the
consequences of inaction are severe; and
WHEREAS, Setting a federal budget is an essential aspect of
governing, and Congress must accept its responsibility to regularly
pass a budget bill; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the 85th Legislature of the State of Texas
hereby respectfully urge the Congress of the United States to pass a
budget; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That the Texas secretary of state forward official
copies of this resolution to the president of the United States, to
the president of the Senate and the speaker of the House of
Representatives of the United States Congress, and to all the
members of the Texas delegation to Congress with the request that
this resolution be officially entered into the Congressional Record
as a memorial to the Congress of the United States of America.
