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. |
