SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 168
WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to
welcome to Austin the members of the Abilene delegation on the
occasion of Abilene Day at the Capitol, which is being celebrated
February 13, 2019; and
WHEREAS, Abilene has been one of the foremost commercial,
agricultural, and educational centers in West Texas since its
founding in the late 19th century; and
WHEREAS, Through the years, the Abilene Chamber of
Commerce has played a vital role in making Abilene the inviting
place in which to live and work that it is today; and
WHEREAS, In its early days, the chamber was instrumental in
such civic improvements as the development of adequate water
supplies; later, efforts by the chamber led to the construction
of a new Taylor County Courthouse and a modern airport terminal;
the chamber and city officials were largely responsible for the
establishment of Dyess Air Force Base in Abilene; and
WHEREAS, The people of Abilene are justifiably proud of
their city for its countless contributions to the growth and
prosperity of our state, and it is truly fitting that a day be set
aside to celebrate Abilene's many assets; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 86th
Legislature, hereby extend best wishes to the Abilene delegation
for a memorable Abilene Day at the Capitol; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared in
honor of this special occasion.
Perry, Buckingham
