Agency History
The governor of Texas is the chief executive officer of the state,
elected by the citizens every four years. The duties and responsibilities of
the governor include serving as commander-in-chief of the state's military
forces; convening special sessions of the legislature for specific purposes;
delivering to the legislature at the beginning of each regular session a report
on the condition of the state, an accounting of all public money under the
governor's control, a recommended biennial budget, an estimate of the amounts
of money required to be raised by taxation, and any recommendations he deems
necessary; signing or vetoing bills passed by the legislature; and executing
the laws of the state. The governor can grant reprieves and commutations of
punishment and pardons, upon the recommendation of the Board of Pardons and
Paroles, and revoke conditional pardons. He appoints numerous state officials
(with the consent of the Senate), fills vacancies in state and district offices
(except vacancies in the legislature), calls special elections to fill
vacancies in the legislature, fills vacancies in the United States Senate until
an election can be held, and serves as ex officio member of several state
boards.
The office of governor was first established by the Constitution of
1845 and superseded the office of president of the Republic of Texas. The
position now exists under authority of Article IV, Section 1 of the
Constitution of 1876 and Texas Government Code, Chapter 401. To be elected
governor, a person must be at least thirty years old, a United States citizen,
and a resident of Texas for at least five years preceding the election. In
1972, the term of office was extended from two to four years, effective in
1975. Since 1856 the governor has had the use of the Governor's Mansion.
In 1999 there were 198 full time equivalent employees in the Office of
the Governor. Thirteen divisions outside of the Executive Office assist the
governor in carrying out his functions: Administration; Appointments; Budget
& Planning; Communications; General Counsel; Legislative; Policy;
Scheduling; Criminal Justice Division; Governor's Committee on People with
Disabilities; Office of Film, Music, Television and Multimedia Industries;
Women's Commission; and Texas Council on Workforce and Economic
Competitiveness.
The primary function of the Governor's Committee on People with
Disabilities is to further opportunities for people with disabilities in the
state of Texas. A complete explanation of the functions of this committee was
set forth in Senate Bill 381, 72nd Legislature, Regular Session and includes
monitoring the state's compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act of
1990 (ADA), providing information to the public regarding ADA, serving as
liaison with other organizations assisting the disabled, promoting coordination
of services for persons with disabilities, making recommendations to the
governor on programs supporting persons with disabilities, monitoring the
implementation of a long-range state plan for Texans with disabilities, and
issuing awards and other recognition to persons and organizations making a
difference for persons with disabilities. The Governor's Committee on
Employment for the Handicapped was first created by Governor Dolph Briscoe in
1978 through Executive Order DB-40. Executive orders by governors William P.
Clements in 1981 (WPC-14A) and 1987 (WPC 87-16) and Mark White in 1983 (MW-10)
continued the committee, with Executive Order MW-10 changing the name to
Governor's Committee for Disabled Persons. In 1991 the Governor's Committee on
People with Disabilities was created statutorily by Senate Bill 381 in order to
continue the functions of the Council on Disabilities, a separate entity, which
was abolished on the recommendation of the Sunset Commission.

George W. Bush Biographical Sketch
George W. Bush served as governor of Texas from January 17, 1995 to
December 21, 2000, resigning as governor in the middle of his second term to
become president of the United States.
He challenged the incumbent governor, Democrat Ann Richards, running
on promises to improve public education and to reform the juvenile justice
system, welfare, and the state's tort laws -- the system under which an injured
person may sue for damages. During the 74th Legislature in 1995, he worked with
the Democrats who controlled both houses of the Texas legislature and managed
to get bills passed that dealt with the four issues he had emphasized in his
campaign. Bush was seen as pro-business and a consensus-builder.
Bush advocated and signed the two largest tax cuts to date in Texas
history, totaling over $3 billion. To pay for the cuts, he sought
(unsuccessfully) federal approval of a plan to privatize Texas' social
services. Education reform was a priority throughout his terms, with
legislation emphasizing local control of schools, higher standards, and a
revised curriculum. Controversy has followed, with charter schools mired in
financial scandals and protests against one test determining a child's
promotion. After winning reelection in 1998, Bush began his bid for the
presidency and was not as involved in the 76th Legislature in 1999.
George W. Bush was born July 6, 1946 in New Haven, Connecticut and
grew up in Midland and Houston, Texas. He graduated from Andover Academy, and
received a bachelor's degree from Yale University and a master's from Harvard
Business School. He served as a pilot in the Texas Air National Guard. In 1978,
Bush was defeated in a run for the U.S. Congress in West Texas. He was involved
in energy exploration from the 1970s into the 1980s. From 1989 until his
election as governor, Bush worked with the Texas Rangers baseball organization,
leading a group of partners in purchasing the team, and then serving as
managing general partner. He married Laura Welch in 1977; they have two
daughters.

Scope and Contents of the Records
The primary function of the Governor's Committee on People with
Disabilities (GCPD) is to further opportunities for people with disabilities in
the state of Texas. Types of records in this group include correspondence,
memoranda, minutes, agenda, meeting files, and related materials that document
the Governor's Committee on People with Disabilities, especially during
Governor George W. Bush's term in office. Dates range from 1984 to 2001 and
undated with the bulk of records dating from 1995 to 2000.
The records of the Texas Governor's Committee on People with

copies of minutes, agenda, and related material, 1984-1991, and 82

In December 2000, Governor George W. Bush designated the George Bush Presidential Library as
the repository for the records from his tenure as Governor of Texas, under
authority of Texas Government Code, Section 441.201. Shortly after he left
office, the records were shipped to the Bush Library in College Station, Texas.
Texas Attorney General John Cornyn ruled that the records are state records
subject to the Texas Public Information Act and the management of the Texas
State Library and Archives Commission even after transfer to a federal facility
(Opinion No. JC-0498, May 3, 2002). In July 2002 the records were transferred
from the Bush Library to the Texas State Archives in Austin for preparation for
research use. In June 2003, a memorandum of understanding signed by
representatives of the National Archives and Records Administration, the Texas
State Library and Archives Commission, and George W. Bush replaced a January
2002 interim memorandum of understanding. The records were moved to the George
W. Bush Presidential Library in February 2013.

The primary function of the Texas Governor's Committee on People
with Disabilities is to further opportunities for people with disabilities in
the state of Texas. Records in this series comprise a small amount of paper
copies of minutes and agenda (with notes and a few attachments), dating from
1984 to 1991, and 82 audiocassette tapes, 1995-2000, of the Governor's
Committee on People with Disabilities. All of the paper documents pre-date
Governor Bush's tenure in office. However, the audiotapes date from his terms
of office and include records of committee and subcommittee meetings. Some
cassettes appear to be missing based on the agency numbering on individual
audiocassettes and, in some cases, the meeting year is not specified. Issues
discussed include long-range plans for Texans with disabilities, demographic
surveys, task force reports, and legislative updates.
Arrangement
These records are arranged by State Archives staff in
chronological order.
