Friday.
The resolution, authored by

the state through oceanographic
research and development.
Endorsed by Lt. Gov. Ben
Barnes, the document officially
represents the entire 61st Legis

Lemmon, who represents Dis

Texas A&M was selected last
year by the National Science
Foundation as one of six U. S.
universities to receive major insti
tutional support under the new
Sea Grant Program designed to
develop the nation’s marine re
sources. Texas A&M’s Sea Grant
work complements the basic re
