FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - August 27, 1998

Now that the Texas Constitution 2000 has been tentatively adopted by the Texas Constitutional Convention, a search has begun for 12 Texans capable and willing to accept appointments to the Texas Constitution Ratification Committee (TCRC).

The Ratification Team Search Committee is seeking applications from qualified Texans for consideration and appointment by the convention. Members of the TCRC will be responsible for the lawful, orderly and peaceful implementation of the ratification plan. The TCRC will also form the nucleus for a Coalition Transition Government (CTG) when the Texas Constitution 2000 is formally ratified.

"We are looking for 12 Texans willing to dedicate at least one year of their lives toward the ratification of this new Texas constitution," search committee chairman Wesley W. Burnett emphasizes.

Basic qualifications for TCRC members: (1) have lived no less than six consecutive months on the soil of Texas; (2) have attained the age of 21 years or older preceding the adoption of this constitution; and (3) have demonstrated the ability to perform the duties of the office to the satisfaction of the delegates to the convention.

"TCRC members will be compensated through a contractual arrangement with the convention," he added.

The primary duty for the TCRC will be to establish procedures for conducting county ratification conventions, appoint county ratification convention coordinators and ensure lawful notification of the date, time, and place of county ratification conventions.

Texans interested in making application for this important assignment should send resumes to TCRC Search Committee, P.O. Box 918, Post, Texas 79356. All inquiries will be acknowledged. The search committee will study applications, conduct interviews, and make recommendations to the delegates at a future session of the convention.

A formal description of the TCRC is available on the Texas Constitutional Convention web site: http://colossus.net/wepinsto/txconv/update.html

The Texas Constitutional Convention was formed and operates under the authority of the Texas Constitution, Article 1, Section 2.
