R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, The Teague Municipal Airport is receiving an 
important honor with its designation as the Most Improved Airport 
by the Texas Department of Transportation at the 2005 Texas 
Aviation Conference held on March 22-24 in Austin; and
	WHEREAS, This remarkable success story is an apt reflection 
of the commitment demonstrated by the UFOs, an organization of area 
aviation enthusiasts, as well as by the local government and the 
Economic Development Corporation of Teague; led by Billy Patterson, 
the UFOs persuaded the city to sponsor a capital improvement 
project that significantly improved the airport runway, taxiway, 
ramp area, and turnarounds, garnered support from the economic 
development corporation to obtain a 24-hour self-service fueling 
system, and solicited funds through grants and individual 
contributions along with in-kind donations of materials and labor 
to construct a new pilot lounge; and
	WHEREAS, Through the commitment, vision, and hard work of 
community supporters, Teague Municipal Airport has undergone 
significant renovations, resulting in a vastly improved airport 
facility in which area residents may take great pride; now, 
therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 79th Texas 
Legislature hereby congratulate all those associated with Teague 
Municipal Airport on its receipt of the 2005 Most Improved Airport 
award and commend these dedicated individuals for their myriad 
efforts in the facility's behalf; and, be it further
	RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be 
prepared for prominent display at Teague Municipal Airport as an 
expression of high regard by the Texas House of Representatives.
