                      PRAISE FOR TEXAS LEGISLATORS

  (Ms. EDDIE BERNICE JOHNSON of Texas asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. EDDIE BERNICE JOHNSON of Texas. Mr. Speaker, I stand this morning 
to praise the 51 members of the Texas House of Representatives and, 
most especially, those from Dallas County. Representative Roberto 
Alonzo, Representative Yvonne Davis, Representative Terri Hodge, 
Representative Jesse Jones, Representative Steve Wolens, and our 
neighbor, Representative Lon Burnam from Tarrant County. I cannot 
forget my original classmate from the class of 1972 in the Texas House, 
Representative Senfronia Thompson, and Representative Pete Laney. They 
stand for courage, commitment, integrity, and principle.
  They will not be forgotten, because we know that they are the ones 
who stand by children, their education, and health care. They care 
about working families and all of our senior citizens.
  Again, we thank them and we praise them for looking out for regular 
Texans.
