WASHINGTON – Today U.S. Senator John Cornyn (R-TX) and
U.S. Representative Mike Conaway (TX-11) released the following statements after
the Senate passed a bill renaming the Federal building and U.S. Courthouse in
Midland, TX after former Presidents George H.W. Bush and George W.
Bush:
"It's my distinct honor to help preserve the legacy of two
great leaders and Texans as they continue to leave their mark on this nation,
and I cannot think of a better way to do that than by memorializing them in
Midland,"said Sen. Cornyn.
"In their 20 years of service in the White House, Presidents
George H.W. Bush and George W. Bush distinguished themselves as exemplary
American leaders. Renaming this courthouse in Midland is a meaningful tribute to
these two great Texans," Rep. Conaway said.
The bill, originally sponsored by Rep. Conaway and passed by
the House of Representatives in 2011, will redesignate the Federal building and
United States Courthouse located at 200 East Wall Street in Midland, Texas, as
the "George H. W. Bush and George W. Bush United States Courthouse and George
Mahon Federal Building."
