Remarks as Delivered:

Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Dr. Tedd Mitchell, Chancellor of the Texas Tech University System for 15 years, for dedicated service to Red Raider Nation in the great state of Texas.

I'm honored to have worked with Chancellor Mitchell over the years and proud to call him and his wonderful wife, Janet, dear friends.

Chancellor Mitchell successfully led Texas Tech University system to new levels of growth, discovery, and educational excellence during his term - and I wish him the very best as he enters a new chapter of his life.

We have a great team of regents, chaired by my friend Cody Campbell, and I'm confident they'll find the right leader - but they will have big shoes to fill, no doubt, with Chancellor Mitchell's departure.

Congratulation, Ted. On behalf of the people of West Texas, thank you for bearing our banner far and wide and modeling what it means to be a true fearless champion.

God bless West Texas and long live the Matador.
