Mr. PAUL.
Madam Speaker, on April 15,
2010, the City of Fulshear, Texas, which is in
my congressional district, will host a reception
honoring Mayor James Roberts, who is stepping
down this year. It is my pleasure to join
the people of Fulshear in thanking Mayor Roberts
for his years of service.

Mayor Roberts was first elected mayor in
1977, shortly after Fulshear was incorporated.
James Roberts was a logical choice to serve
as FulshearÃs first mayor, as his efforts were
instrumental in incorporating Fulshear. Mayor
Roberts served as Mayor until 1984. In 2006,
he returned to the MayorÃs office.
2010 Ron Paul 15:3
A graduate of Baylor University, James
Roberts has worked as a textbook publisher
representative, a world history teacher and a
coach. In 1973, he founded J.W. Roberts and
Company, a wholesale outlet for industrial
hoses, clamps, ducting, fittings and tubings. In
addition to building a business, working to incorporate
Fulshear, and then serving as
mayor, James Roberts has also been involved
in a variety of community activities, including
20 years on the Board of the Fort Bend County
Library, 2 years on the Lamar Consolidated
School Board, nine of which he spent as
School Board President. Mayor Roberts has
also served as the Deacon of Youth of the
Graeber Road Church of Christ. Mayor Roberts
is currently a member of the Board of Directors
of the American Heart Association.
2010 Ron Paul 15:4
Madam Speaker, I once again wish to express
my pleasure in joining the people of
Fulshear in thanking James Roberts for his
work to incorporate Fulshear, his service as
Mayor, and all of his work to better the lives
of the people of his community.
