    |
0014|     
    |
0015|          WHEREAS, forces of nature notwithstanding, the smooth and
    |
0016|     efficient functioning of the legislature requires the support
    |
0017|     of dedicated staff, without which the government would come to
    |
0018|     a grisly, grinding halt; and
    |
0019|          WHEREAS, natural and human phenomena of extraordinary
    |
0020|     proportions demand the bestowal of nonmenclature beyond mere
    |
0021|     technical description; and
    |
0022|          WHEREAS, Jerome Vialpando embodies the quintessence of
    |
0023|     these sentiments, having served the legislature for twenty
    |
0024|     years in innumerable capacities, varied and expansive and is
    |
0025|     consequently known throughout the capitol for his rapid
    |

0001|     movement and unpredictability as "El Nino"; and
    |
0002|          WHEREAS, Jerome is the only member of the legislative
    |
0003|     staff to have had named after him a recurring atmospheric and
    |
0004|     oceanographic disturbance of regular periodicity in the
    |
0005|     southern Pacific latitudes;
    |
0006|          NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE HOUSE OF
    |
0007|     REPRESENTATIVES OF THE STATE OF NEW MEXICO that the house
    |
0008|     express its extreme gratitude for and satisfaction with the
    |
0009|     invaluable services of Jerome "El Nino" Vialpando in his
    |
0010|     assistance and dedication to the legislative process; and
    |
0011|          BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that a copy of this memorial be
