EDWARDS & PERRY ATTORNEYS AT LAW P. O.DRAWER 480 CORPUS CHHMTI, TEXAS 78400 WILLIAM R EDWARDS 935 PETROLEUM TOWER DAVI·) L. PERRY TELEPHONE: (512) 883·0971 MARCEL S. GREENIA September 16, 1977 Dear Fellow Democrats; The 1978 political season is fast approaching, with wars and rumors of wars. At this date, if memory serves me correctly, it looks like a partial line-up of hotly contested fights which will include the following: For Governor: Preston Smith vs. John Hill vs. Dolph Briscoe For U. S. Senator: Joe Christie vs. Bob Krueger For Attorney General: Price Daniel, Jr. vs. Mark White For U. S. Congressman: The possible line-up may be John Young vs. Jason Luby vs. Joe Wyatt (State Rep., Victoria) vs. Bill Patman (State Sen., Ganado) Most of us have been invited to and/or attended local receptions for such notables as Governor Briscoe, Attorney General Hill, Bob Krueger, Joe Christie, John young and possibly others that I do not remember right now. I hope that those of us who have worked together so successfully in the past can, again, coordinate our efforts for 1978. Besides that, Mary Jane and I have moved and we would like for you to come and see our new house. Please come by the house on Sunday, September 25, at 7:00 p.m. We live at 6222 Boca Raton, just off of Congressional and Everhart. This will be an evening to renew friendships, exchange views, find out the extent to which we agree, and, hopefully, limit our disagreements so that they w*r4 not interfer with working together to continue a strong /bem*cr Eicrganiza- tion that can beat John. Tower and el*:t a If*3:N)emlpcratic 1 ticket in November, 1978. 1 1 \ ve*y tr~ly 9%45, )) r-\ U 4 1 -- DLP:km ~.

Texas Department of Corrections: 30 Years of Progress
If you have issues viewing or accessing this file contact us at NCJRS.gov. ____~____ ~:-:'----;-- - ~-- ----;--;:-'l~. - Texas Department of Corrections: 30 Years of Progress ,. In 1967, the Department published a report, Texas Department of Corrections: 20 Years of Progress. That report was largely the work of Mr. Richard C. Jones, former Assistant Director for Treatment. The report that follows borrowed hea-vily and in many cases directly from Mr. Jones' efforts. This is but another example of how we continue to profit from, and, hopefully, build upon the excellent wC';-h of those preceding us. Texas Department of Corrections: 30 Years of Progress NCJRS dAN 061978 ACQUISIT10i~:.j OFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR DOLPH BRISCOE STATE CAPITOL GOVERNOR AUSTIN, TEXAS 78711 My Fellow Texans: All Texans owe a debt of gratitude to the Honorable H. H. Coffield. former Chairman of the Texas Board of Corrections, who recently retired after many years of dedicated service on the Board; to the present members of the Board; to Mr. W. J. Estelle, Jr., Director of the Texas Department of Corrections; and to the many people who work with him in the management of the Department. Continuing progress has been the benchmark of the Texas Department of Corrections over the past thirty years. Proposed reforms have come to fruition through the careful and diligent management p~ovided by successive administ~ations. The indust~ial and educational p~ograms that have been initiated have resulted in a substantial tax savings for the citizens of this state and one of the lowest recidivism rates in the nation.

Facilities Named in Honor Of
SUL ROSS STATE UNIVERSITY A Member of the Texas State University System Facilities Named in Honor of… APM 2.12 (Revised 5/2012) Sul Ross State University has honored persons who have made significant contributions to the University by naming facilities in their honor. Persons so honored include two former Governors, five former Presidents of the University, six former faculty members, seven friends and supporters of the University and two alumni of Sul Ross State University. A. Lawrence Hall was constructed by the Public Works Administration in 1938 as a dormitory for women. It was named for Texas Governor Lawrence Sullivan Ross for whom the University was named. In 1996 a major renovation was completed and Lawrence Hall was converted for use as an academic facility, housing the Department of Behavioral and Social Sciences. It also housed the Museum of the Big Bend until 2006 and the Center for Big Bend Studies until 2001. The Center for Enrollment Services and the Title V Lobo Den moved into the space vacated by the Museum and the Center for Big Bend Studies. B. Marquis Hall (originally Marquis Annex) was named for Robert Marquis, the second President of Sul Ross, who served the University from 1920-1923. The residence hall was removed from service in 2004 and razed to make room for the construction of new student housing. C. Another residence hall named for a former president of Sul Ross is Thomas J. Fletcher Hall. This building was originally designated as Morelock Hall, but was renamed in 1988 to continue the use of the name Fletcher.

Texas Legislature, Austin, Texas, April 24, 1967
FOR RELEASE: MONDAY PM's APRIL 24, 1967 REMARKS OF VICE PRESIDENT HUBERT H. HUMPHREY TEXAS STATE LEGISLATURE AUSTIN, TEXAS APRIL 24, 1967 This is a very rare experience for me -- to be able to stand here and look out over all these fine Texas faces. Of course, I have had considerable practice looking into Texas faces -- sometimes I get the feeling that whoev·er wrote "The Eyes of Texas rr had me in mind. But what makes this experience so rare is that, this time, I am doing the talking. And I don't mind telling you: You may be in for it. But you don't need to worry. The point has already been made. One of your fellow Texans reminded me this morning that Austin was once the home of William Sidney Porter who wrote the 0. Henry stories -- and he .observed that 0. Henry and I had much in common: 0. Henry stories al'ltfays have surprise endings and in my speeches, the end is always a surprise, too. I am happy to be in Texas once again. As you realize, one of the duties of a Vice President is to visit the capitals of our friendly allies. Believe me; we are very grateful in Washington to have Texas on our side - that is, whenever you are. I am pleased today to bring to the members of the Legislature warm personal greetings from the President of the United States. He is on a sad mission today to pay the last respects of our nation to one of the great statesmen in the postwar world -- a man who visited Austin six years ago this month -- former Chancellor Konrad Adenauer of Germany.
