SENATOR DEWHURST: Thank you, Madame Secretary. Members, would all of you on the floor and in the gallery please rise this morning for the invocation to be delivered by Pastor Keith Born of Mandolin Lutheran Church of Pflugerville?

PASTOR KEITH BORN: Dear Heavenly Father, you have given all the men and women gathered in this chamber the willingness and courage to serve on behalf of the residents of our state. I offer thanksgiving for them and their service. Bless them all with your presence, give them compassion, and strengthen and enable them to work together through the debate and compromise for the benefit of all Texans. In these challenging times, help us all, elected officials and residents alike, to approach each challenge with a positive attitude and to work together to seek opportunities for growth and advancement for our neighborhoods, cities, states and country. I offer this prayer in Your Most Holy Name. Amen.

SENATOR DEWHURST: Amen. Pastor Born, thank you, sir, thank you very much. Y'all can be seated in the gallery. Thank you so much. Members, the Chair will hear excuses for absent members.

Senator Whitmire moves to suspend the readings of yesterday's journal. Is there any objection from any member? Chair hears none, so ordered. Mr. Doorkeeper?

MR. DOORKEEPER: Senator, there's a message from the House.

SENATOR DEWHURST: Admit the messenger.

MR. DOORKEEPER: Mr. President, I'm directed by the House to inform the Senate the House has taken the following action: The House passed the following measures: HCR 40 designating the Sunday through Saturday surrounding World Suicide Prevention Day, September 10th each year, as Texas Suicide Prevention Week; Robert Hainy, Chief Clerk.

SENATOR DEWHURST: Thank you, Mr. Doorkeeper. The Chair recognizes Senator Hegar to introduce the doctor for the day.

SENATOR HEGAR: Thank you, Mr. President. Members, it's my privilege today to introduce one of my constituents, Dr. Russell Thomas from Eagle Lake. He received a Bachelor from the University of Texas here in Austin and also received a Masters in Public Health degree at UT School, Public Health, in Houston, and graduated from the Texas College of Osteopathic Medicine in 1980. He's returned to private practice in his hometown of Eagle Lake, which is in the heart of Senate District 18. He has been very involved in local community and been serving that area very well for a number of years now. And he also has with him today Beau Price, who is a 4th year medical student at the University of North Texas. It is my great privilege to have both of them here today. We appreciate you coming up in the wonderful weather that we have this time of the year and thank you for your service very, very much. Thank you Mr. President, members. (Applause).

SENATOR DEWHURST: Thank you, Senator Hegar. The Chair lays out senate resolution No. 157 by Senator Nelson. The secretary will read the resolution.

PATSY SPAW: Senate Resolution 157 proclaiming February 4th, 2011 as National Wear Red Day in Texas by Nelson and Shapiro. The Chair recognizes Senator Nelson and the President.

SENATOR DEWHURST: The Chair recognizes Senator Nelson, and the President's tie, to speak on the resolution.

SENATOR NELSON: Thank you, Mr. President. And I do like that red tie you have on. And I'm seeing a lot of red here on the Senate chamber floor. Senate Resolution 157 recognizes American Heart Association and its Go Red For Women initiative. Now, Senator West, last week, talked a lot about red jerseys and blue jerseys. But today we are all red jerseys. And it doesn't really have anything to do with party politics, it's to increase awareness about heart disease and to empower women to take charge of their own heart health. Heart disease and stroke are leading causes of death, yet only 16 percent of women surveyed realized that cardiovascular disease is the greatest health problem they face. National Red -- Wear Red Day is Friday. And I encourage all Texans to show their support for preventing heart disease with proper nutrition, physical activity and other heart healthy lifestyle choices. You're seeing a lot of red in the Capital today. I'd like to ask the delegation from the American Heart Association in the gallery to please rise. And members please join me in welcoming them to the Texas Senate and thanking them for all their hard work. Thank you for being here. (Applause).

SENATOR DEWHURST: Thank you, Senator Nelson. The Chair recognizes Senator Lucio to speak on the resolution. EDDIE LUCIO, JR.: Senator Nelson, I want to thank you for taking the lead on this very important issue and welcome all of those that are here today because of this issue. I was speaking with my doctor, my cardio -- you know, man that knows about cardiology and a man that's world renowned, Dr. James Willardson, yesterday on the phone. He told me that the heart disease -- heart disease remains the number one killer of both men and women in Texas, and it claims a life every 34 seconds in America. Next week we will be wearing pink in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness, but women are five times -- five times more likely to die of heart disease than from breast cancer. And it will affect one in every three American men. And I'm one of those that have had cardiovascular disease for 30 -- 33 years now. But, you know, I -- I -- Ten years ago this -- Ten years ago I think those of us that were here, and you were, I had a heart attack. And I -- I just can't tell you how very proud I am of the cardiologists in our state that make a difference in the lives of people every day of their lives. But my doctor was telling me yesterday, Dr. Willardson, about the programs and work going on in the areas of stem cell research at the Texas Heart Institute. They are working on using a heart patient's own adult stem cells to treat heart failure. I'm not an expert but they -- they take them from your hip, stick them in your heart and science does the rest. And they're saving people. It is an area we should look at to invest in, like we did in breast cancer, you know, a couple of sessions ago; even if it's expensive. According to the Center for Disease Control, heart disease cost the United States 360.4 billion, that's how much it cost them in the year 2010. That would pay for three years in the Texas budget at our current spending level. So, I'm excited. And I join with you and Senator Shapiro and others who have worked so hard on this issue by the research going on here in our state. We can save lives, we can save money and we need to recognize those men and women, especially those of the Texas Heart Institute, who are not only treating and saving lives from right here in our own state, but they are saving people from all over the country and all over the world. So Texas is making a difference. Not only for our own people but for many around the globe. So, thank you once again for your hard work. And thank you, Mr. President, for allowing me to have an opportunity to express my views on this issue.

SENATOR DEWHURST: Thank you, Senator Lucio. Chair recognizes the lady in red, Senator Shapiro.

SENATOR SHAPIRO: Thank you. Mr. Speaker, members, I'm honored to also be a signer on this particular resolution. I think that it is very important, though, that we recognize two things that have not been said, and I'm not going to repeat everything that's been said. The first thing is heart disease is preventable. There's not many diseases we can say that about. Women, 90 percent of women in the United States today have a risk factor for heart disease. So all of the men who are here, don't think that it's just about women in risk. This is about you helping your spouse, your significant other, your daughter, your granddaughter to recognize those risk factors and try to prevent this deadly disease. It is a disease that kills more women than any other disease. So educating them and educating you is what the American Heart Association is doing. And I want to commend them for their Go Red Women initiative, and hope that all of us will take the time to educate one another on this disease. Thank you very much.

SENATOR DEWHURST: Thank you, Senator Shapiro. Well said. The Chair recognizes Senator Nelson to close.

SENATOR NELSON: Mr. President, members, I want to thank you so much for helping to realize the awareness that needs to be made regarding women and heart disease. Again, I want to thank those in the gallery and all those working so hard all across Texas to help women recognize the peril that faces them if they do not pay attention to themselves. Members, I encourage you to support Senate Resolution 157.

SENATOR DEWHURST: Thank you, Senator Nelson. Senator Lucio, did you wish to add something? EDDIE LUCIO, JR.: No. If I may, after we adopt, Mr. President, move to add all members' names to the resolution, please?

SENATOR DEWHURST: Thank you, Senator Lucio. Members, you've heard the motion by Senator Nelson. Is there any objection by any member? Chair hears none. So ordered. Members, you've heard the motion by Senator Lucio to include the remarks in the journal. Is there any objection from any member? Chair hears none. So ordered. Thank you so much. The Chair announces the signing of the following:

PATSY SPAW: House Concurrent Resolution No. 41.

SENATOR DEWHURST: Thank you, Madame Secretary. The chair recognizes -- the Chair lays out senate resolution 88 by Senator Van de Putte. The secretary will read the resolution in full.

PATSY SPAW: Senate Resolution 88, whereas the Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to recognize Dr. John Wesley Bolt for so many outstanding contributions in the field of medicine. He was a 1954 graduate of the Vanderbilt School of Medicine and joined the staff at Robert B. Green Hospital in San Antonio in 1961, where he taught gynecologic surgery and provided patient care to local citizens. And whereas Dr. Bolt supervised the formation of the United States Air Force Obstetrics and Gynecology Program at Willford Hall Hospital, and served as a civilian consultant and instructor for nearly a decade. In 1968 he was appointed Clinical Professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology at the medical school now known as the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio, and whereas a founding member of society for gynecologic surgeons, Dr. Bolt is a member of the Payor County Medical Society and the Felix Rutledge Society. In 2009 a permanent endowment was established in his name at the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio to honor his excellence in patient care education and research in his field. And whereas Dr. Bolt continues to provide his patients with exceptional care and to serve as a mentor and guide to medical students, he is truly deserving of recognition for his legacy of compassion, professionalism and dedication. Now, therefore be it resolved that the Senate of the State of Texas 82nd Legislature hereby commend Dr. John Wesley Bolt on his many achievements and extend to him best wishes for continued success in all his endeavors by Van de Putte.

SENATOR DEWHURST: Thank you, Madame Secretary. The chair asks Senator Van de Putte to explain the resolution.

SENATOR VAN DE PUTTE: Thank you. Mr. President, members, today it is my distinct honor to recognize a gentleman who has had a profound impact in health care, particularly health care for women. I am so proud today to recognize Dr. Bolt and the many, many decades that he has had in our community of San Antonio in providing for women's health. But the literally thousands of students that have gone through at the Health Science Center, and with all of our professional schools there, that he has been their mentor, their teacher. It's very rare that we have someone like Dr. Bolt who continues to practice. Although Dr. Bolt doesn't look it he is in his 80's and continues to teach students and do surgery there at University Hospital, but it's not just the longevity that we are recognizing today; it is compassion, it is his clear understanding of his patients. We all know that we live in a very complex and secular world, but I know that it won't surprise you to know that Dr. Bolt prays over his patients every time before they get on that operating table. He is one that treats every patient, every family member with such kindness and such understanding. He's been teaching since 1961. And, in fact, was there at the Robert Green Hospital when I myself was doing an internship as a pharmacy student. And, you know, that with the scholarship in his name, the endowment that other physicians and other folks in San Antonio have recognized, it is my honor today to recognize Dr. Bolt and his beautiful wife, Veronica, who has been with him at his side, very active in our Texas Medical Auxiliary and just a wonderful spouse. On the floor today with us are the gentlemen that signify health professional education and particularly at our Health Science Center. Accompanying Dr. Bolt today is chancellor of the UT Systems, Dr. Francisco Sagadore, who was also on the faculty there and then became our president. With us is our new dean of the Health Science Center in San Antonio, Dr. Francisco Gonzales Franakano, I'm sorry. And also the chair of the compartment of OB-GYN, Dr. Robert Shankman. We also have, in the gallery today, folks from San Antonio and Dr. Bolt's family. His sons, Bill Bolt and Robert Stockyard and Robert's wife Sheryl. The daughter is Dan Bolt, her father, and her husband Norman; his beautiful grandchildren, Elizabeth, Carolyn, Suzanna, Margaret, James and Jordan; and many physicians who are here today. Dr. Ellie Ghanakiss, Dr. Mark Fung, Dr. Karen Dee, Dr. Kevin Hall. And representing each class we have Dr. Blake Berryhill, Dr. Emma Rodriguez, Dr. Almasaya Acosta, Dr. Victoria Nacheck and Dr. Evita Anka. And one very special little doctor, my daughter, Dr. Nicole Van de Putte; who also learned from Dr. Bolt. This man has had a profound impact, not only on all of these residents and on these physicians, but he's been a great example to my daughter. For that, her father and I are extremely grateful. Please join me in welcoming the friends and family of Dr. Bolt to the Texas Senate. Mr. President, I move for passage of Senate Resolution honoring this great gentleman, Dr. John Westerly Bolt, and ask that everyone who is in the gallery today honor Dr. Bolt. And immediately afterwards we'll be going to a reception at the Texas Medical Association. Would you please rise and be acknowledged, all the group that came to honor this fine man, Dr. Bolt? (Applause).

SENATOR DEWHURST: Thank you, Senator Van de Putte. Members, you've heard the motion by Senator Van de Putte. Is there any objection from any member? Chair hears no objection and the resolution is adopted. Members, the Chair recognizes Senator Eltife for an introduction of Tyler Junior College.

SENATOR ELTIFE: And a few others, Mr. President.

SENATOR DEWHURST: Oh, excuse me.

SENATOR ELTIFE: Thank you. Mr. President, members, as many of you know, today is Community College Day at the Capitol and we have several community challenges from my district here. We have Dr. Gregory Powell, President of Pianola College; students from Pianola College. And Killgore College President, Bill Hold, is here with his students. And I see Dr. Mike Metkey with TJC. I'm not sure how many students made it from Tyler due to the weather but we have several students here. We want to welcome them to the Texas Senate. We appreciate your community colleges being on the front-line and all they do for education in this state. Please stand and let us welcome them to the Texas Senate. All of y'all stand for us. Help me welcome them, members. (Applause).

SENATOR ELTIFE: Thank you, Mr. President.

SENATOR DEWHURST: The chair recognizes Senator Seliger.

SENATOR SELIGER: Thank you, Mr. President. Thank you, Senator Eltife. In the 31st Senatorial District there operates Toward College, Midland College, Odessa College, Amarillo College, and Frankfield College. Five extraordinary institutions of higher learning. And by some very important principles, that I'm not sure everybody realizes, 75 percent of the young people in Texas who go onto higher education are going to start in the community colleges if they go on through the system of higher education. Their performance, in terms of time, completion, passing of required tests and things like that, is equal to or superior to those young students who start in universities. They make a tremendous and lasting contribution to all parts of the State of Texas, which are represented by 50 community college districts. And -- along with Senator Eltife, for passage of this resolution.

SENATOR DEWHURST: Thank you, Senator Seliger. The Chair lays out Senate Resolution No. 145 by Senator Seliger. The secretary will read the resolution.

PATSY SPAW: Senate Resolution No. 145 declaring February 2nd, 2011, as Texas Food Bank Day at the Capitol by Seliger.

SENATOR DEWHURST: Thank you. The Chair recognizes Senator Seliger to explain the resolution.

SENATOR SELIGER: Thank you, Mr. President. Today is Texas Food Bank Day at the Capitol and we're pleased to welcome representatives from the 19 member food banks in the Texas food bank network, a network that serves the entire state of Texas, every senatorial district, and provides something extremely valuable. They do so in a way that very often prevents waste of food stuffs that may normally go to waste. Things like grocery stores, they go into the food bank. And people in the State of Texas, in very many instances, children who otherwise would not have the nourishment that the food bank provides. Texas food banks are tremendous assets to the state during times of disaster. They coordinate the stage during donating and distribution of food and supplies, working closely with the Governor's Office and Emergency Management. The 31st District is represented by the High Plains Food Bank, South Plains Food Bank and the West Texas Food Bank. As I said, every senatorial district is serviced by one or more of the food banks. Just last summer they stepped up to the plate to acquire funds for Texas that would have been left on the table. The food banks themselves provided the 20 percent match to drawdown $32.1 million, which allowed the distribution of 18.3 million pounds of nutritious food to families with children during the summer months. Food bank executives, directors and board members are in the Senate Gallery today. I believe that -- the South Gallery, and I would ask you to join me in acknowledging their contribution to families in the State of Texas. And I raise passage to this resolution.

SENATOR DEWHURST: The Senate recognizes Senator Nelson on the resolution.

SENATOR NELSON: Thank you, Mr. President. Senator Seliger, thank you so much for bringing this resolution. I think that our food banks today are provided -- they've always provided a very necessary service, but in today's economy -- I know that up in my neck of the woods there are people who never ever thought that they would find it necessary to approach a food bank and yet, in today's economy, they are. We have so many wonderful people who are willing to support our food bank so many volunteers that go and give their time so graciously. And I am very happy to see this resolution come before the Senate to honor these individuals. Thank you for bringing this resolution.

SENATOR SELIGER: Thank you very much. You, representing food banks, would you please stand? (Applause). Mr. President, I move passage.

SENATOR DEWHURST: Thank you, Senator Seliger. There was one additional senator who wished to speak on this. Chair recognizes Senator Zaffirini on the resolution.

SENATOR ZAFFIRINI: Thank you, Mr. President and thank you Senator Seliger for this wonderful resolution. I join you in paying tribute to the food bank. And, also, to all of the volunteers who have worked with the food banks and the many people who have contributed. Just yesterday the Beaumont Foundation raised $75,000 for the South Texas Food Bank, and they're in the group that you recognized. But Texas Health Science, a group that has also contributed to the total of $3 million to the food banks of Texas, they contribute to every single one and that is impressive. And I thank Senator Williams for the generosity of his constituents. I'm so impressed with that, but particularly with the many volunteers who work wit the food bank staff. Thank you, Senator Seliger and thank you to all the volunteers and staff and philanthropists. Thank you, Mr. President.

SENATOR DEWHURST: Thank you, Senator Zaffirini. Members, you heard the motion by Senator Seliger. Is there any objection from any member? Chair hears none and the resolution is adopted. Thank you, Senator. Chair recognizes Senator Zaffirini for an introduction.

SENATOR ZAFFIRINI: Thank you, Mr. President. We recognized some of the community college day participants earlier, but there are also some from my district who joined the group. The delegation from Coastal Van College could not be here because of the bad weather, but we have representatives from Laredo Community College, from North View, Lake View College, which is one of the Alamo colleges in San Antonio and the South Texas College in Star County. Would they please rise and be recognized? And welcome to the Texas Senate. (Applause).

SENATOR ZAFFIRINI: Thank you, Mr. President and members.

SENATOR DEWHURST: Thank you, Senator. The chair lays out Senate Resolution No. 164 by Senator Hinojosa. The secretary will read the resolution.

PATSY SPAW: Senate resolution No. 164 recognizing the Texas 4H and youth development program for its many contributions to the young people of Texas. By Hinojosa.

SENATOR DEWHURST: Chair recognizes Senator Hinojosa to explain the resolution.

SENATOR HINOJOSA: Thank you, Mr. President and members. This is a very special day. It's Texas 4H Day. I really enjoy this group of young people, I attend the fundraisers, the auctions and I have a lot of fun and we always encourage you to attend any fundraisers and events that they have here in Texas. Today we'd like to welcome Texas 4H youth, parents, advisers and volunteers to the Texas Capitol. Texas 4H began in 1908, and its programs are administered by the Texas Life Extension Program Service. Texas 4H prepares youth to be leaders and active citizens in our communities. This program for right opportunities for Texas youth to learn life skills, develop strong character and include the readiness for the workplace and for the college. Texas 4H involves well over 600,000 youths of all ages and 33,000 volunteers. All 254 counties in Texas have 4H programs with almost half of Texas 4H members living in urban and suburban areas. Students involved in 4H have higher educational achievement and go on to be more active in the communities. 4H costs little to nothing to join and be involved in but really the return is priceless. 4H youth have been and will continue to be leaders in the communities and in Texas. They follow the 4H motto, "To Make The Best Better." And today, joining us in the Senate floor, we have president of the Texas 4H Council Brazos County, Preston (inaudible), we have Kelly Aldrich, member of the Texas 4H Council for the county, and we have Alison (inaudible) from -- vice president 4H Council, (inaudible) County and Bonnie McGhee, associate director for 4H youth and human sciences. And up in the gallery we have students and volunteers who make this program work and be effective. So please help me welcome the 4H group to our State Capitol. And I yield to Senator Zaffirini.

SENATOR DEWHURST: Thank you, Senator. Chair recognizes Senator Zaffirini on the resolution.

SENATOR ZAFFIRINI: Thank you, Mr. President. Mr. President and members, it's such a special day in my office because my staff and I have welcomed constituents from many, many counties in our district to participate in all of these activities. Joining the 4H group are Rival County, Wilson County and northeast Bear County. And they are in the west and north galleries. Would they please rise and be recognized? Where are they? (Applause).

SENATOR ZAFFIRINI: Thank you. And they too are working to live their motto, "to make the best better." Senator Hinojosa, thank you in bringing forth this resolution.

SENATOR HINOJOSA: Thank you, Senator Zaffirini. And for members also of you who have never attended one of the functions, I would encourage you to do so. You'll enjoy meeting a great group of young people who are energetic, who are focused, so please help me welcome 4H staff people to the State Capitol. (Applause).

SENATOR DEWHURST: To all of you with the 4H, thank you for being here. Members, you've heard the motion from Senator Hinojosa. Is there any objection from any member? The chair hears no objection, and the resolution is adopted. Congratulations. Members, the chair recognizes Senator Birdwell for an introduction.

SENATOR BIRDWELL: Thank you, Mr. President. Mr. President, members, it's my pleasure, too, to introduce you to some fine community colleges that have come to the State Capitol today that are based in Senate District 22. Along with much of the state that has been hit on the north side of our state with weather, there are some that could not make it today because of that weather. Texas State Technical College which is headquartered in Waco, and then Hill College which is headquartered in Hillsborough could not make it. But two of my community colleges were able to make it. McClenon Community College and Navarro Community College have joined us today. I'd like to introduce those delegations led by Dr. Richard Sanchez, president of Navarro College and Dr. Donde McAllen, president of McClenon Community Colleges. If those two delegations would rise and please be welcomed to the Texas State Senate. Thank you for joining us today. (Applause). Thank you, Mr. President.
