DS, two pages, 8.5 x 13, May 5, 1995. State of Texas Senate Concurrent Resolution. In part: “Whereas, The State of Texas’ universities and their libraries are invaluable sources of information that should be available to all Texans, and Whereas, Public education has long been a priority in Texas; the sizable portion of the state’s budget directed to this endeavor is not threatened by other pressing demands; and Whereas, Forty percent of all Texas residents live in rural communities…The Texas Math and Science Hotline, through the use of a toll-free number, encourages interaction between kindergarten through 12th-grade teachers and their students with the resources available in the state’s scientific, research, and higher education institutions…the 74th Legislature of the State of Texas hereby commend the Texas Match and Science Hotline for providing an efficient, cost-effective vehicle for facilitating university-school collaborations.” Countersigned by the state’s President of the Senate and Speaker of the House as well as two other state officials. The appealing gold-foil and red-ribbon seal is intact. The pages are evidently affixed to thin cardboard and float-mounted and framed to an overall size of 21 x 16.5. In fine condition.

Before claiming victory in the 2000 presidential election, Bush served as the 46th governor of Texas, beginning in 1995. As governor, he successfully sponsored legislation that increased education funding and set higher standards for schools. Resolutions from Bush as head of the Lone Star State are uncommon.
