A resolution honoring the life of Nebraska community leader Howard L. Hawks.

Howard L. Hawks's philanthropy and civic leadership transformed Nebraska's universities and the Omaha business community. He co-founded Tenaska Energy and grew it into one of the nation's largest private companies, served 18 years as a University of Nebraska regent and 12 years on Creighton University's board, helped raise $1.8 billion for the University of Nebraska campaign, funded buildings, endowed chairs and fellowships, supported athletics, scholarships, and health and community programs, and the Senate expresses sorrow at his death, honors his life, and requests the Secretary of the Senate transmit an enrolled copy to his family.
