  Mr. CONAWAY. Madam Speaker, I rise to welcome the 82nd Texas NAACP 
State Conference Convention to San Angelo, Texas, as they meet from 
October 3-6, 2019. Since its founding, the NAACP has worked to secure 
equal rights and eliminate race-based discrimination to ensure the 
health and well-being of all persons.
   I congratulate the San Angelo Chapter as they have the opportunity 
to host the state convention for the first time since their founding in 
1946.
   Over the course of the conference, attendees will be exposed to San 
Angelo's meaningful history by touring the Fort Concho National 
Historic Landmark and Stables. The NAACP will also be serving the 
community through a Health Drive and annual NAACP Bike Ride.
   I look forward to a successful convention and thank all of those who 
have worked tirelessly to plan and execute this event. Welcome to San 
Angelo.
