you.
This Week’s Column
Last week’s newspaper
article discussed some of
the things which a state
representative does during ’
the interim such as talks
and visits within the
district and committee
hearings out of the district.
While time consuming,
these meetings keep
constituents and me
informed of problems and
changes affecting our
district and are necessary
to keep us all updated on
issues and working toward
good representation for our
area.
Another critical and very
necessary but not so
glamorous aspect of my
position is the supervision
of my staff in Austin who do
the day-to-day Job of
assisting constituents who
write Itters, and even
sometimes call, with
problems or questions
regarding any
governmental agency, law
or policy. I am most
fortunate to have some
very capable and eager
staff people in Missy
Jackson, Administrative
Aide; Karla Bowers,
Administrative Secretary;
and Vernon Jordan, a part-
time Research Assistant.
My staff have all either
lived or grown up in the
district, and are familier
with our area. Let me give
you an example of a typical
day’s activities for them
during the interim.
Everyday we receive
requests from constituents
who need either
information or assistance.
For example, we have been
asked to find out the
requirements for serving
on certain boards; how to
establish a nursing home;
who to talk to regarding a
suspected child abuse
case; why someone was
denied unemployment
compensation; who
regulates cemeteries and
what rules govern

Recently, Speaker “Gib”

Judiciary. This committee
has, been charged with

jurisdiction.
Both the regular and
select committees meet
several times as a whole
during the interim, as do
the subcommittees within
each full committee. You
can see this will involve
both time in the actual
meeings, as well as time in
proparing for the meeting;
however, I look forward to
the challenge and

made talks to
University Women’s Club
in Brownwood, the
Professional Educators in
Santa Anna, the teachers in
Brady and the Rotary Club
in Brownwood. I discussed
issues they were interested
in and answered questions
which they had relating to
many other state interests.
(For your information, the
most commonly asked
questions have related to
education problems and
D.W.I.)
I have also talked to
some government and
history classes and hope to
visit others in the near
future. Next week I will be
meeting with the people at
the Brownwood State
School.
Besides keeping
constituents informed,
there are other
responsibilities and
meetings which must be
attended out of the district.
Following a
session, the
charges the
Committees with certain
studies to be completed
during the interim.
Recommendations from
each committee are made
to the House at the
beginning of the next
Legislative session. All
House members serve on
the same committees to
which they were assigned
after the session convened.
As a member of County
Affairs and Judicial Affairs
Committees, I will be
studying the areas
generally relating to these
topics.
In addition to the
standing committee
studies made during the
interim, there are also
studies made by “select”
committees which are
charged with studying and
making recommendations
on a specifically selected
subject. Generally the

committees are composed
