Referred to the Committee on Natural Resources 
RESOLUTION 
Recognizing Rett Reef off the coast of San Leon, Texas,

Whereas the completion of Rett Reef off the coast of San 
Leon, Texas, in Galveston Bay, will mark the first oyster

Whereas the Rett Reef project is being made possible through 
a partnership involving SLOF, Pier 6 Seafood & Oyster 
House, Prestige Oysters, The Nature Conservancy, and 
Texas Sea Grant at Texas A&M University; 
Whereas, for the creation of Rett Reef, Pier 6 Seafood & 
Oyster House is donating all the shells necessary to help 
restore a historical sport fishing reef that was destroyed 
by Hurricane Ike; 
Whereas, upon its completion, Rett Reef will be a nonharvest-
able oyster reef spanning 10 acres and will play an in-
strumental role in improving water quality, attracting 
fauna, protecting the area from storm surges, and edu-
cating the public about the many benefits provided by 
oyster reefs; 
Whereas, in addition, Rett Reef will serve as a habitat for 
fish and invertebrate species, and anglers will be able to 
use it as a recreational fishing location; and 
Whereas, with its natural beauty and abundant wildlife, the 
Galveston Bay area is one of the treasures of the Lone 
Star State, and Rett Reef will be a valuable addition to 
this vibrant and unique ecosystem: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved, That the House of Representatives— 
(1) recognizes the contribution of Rett Reef in 
Galveston Bay, off the coast of San Leon, Texas, for 
its value to the Texas Gulf Coast; and 
(2) extends sincere appreciation to all those as-
sociated with Rett Reef for their efforts to bring the 
project to fruition.

Whereas a rare disease is a disease or disorder that affects

debilitates a patient’s development, motor skills, growth, 
and cognitive and language skills and limits a patient’s 
life; 
Whereas AADC Deficiency results from an inherited genetic 
disease where patients lack the AADC enzyme required 
to create dopamine and, without dopamine, patients will 
never achieve motor milestones, such as holding their 
heads up, sitting, and standing, or develop the ability to 
communicate or perform basic life functions; 
Whereas patients are diagnosed with AADC Deficiency 
through genetic and other biochemical tests; 
Whereas patients suffering from AADC Deficiency often have 
unexplained low muscle tone and experience other symp-
toms like developmental delays and involuntary eye move-
ments; 
Whereas there have been approximately 200 cases of AADC 
Deficiency reported worldwide; 
Whereas AADC Deficiency is often mistaken for other dis-
eases like cerebral palsy, epilepsy, or even autism; 
Whereas Congress can raise awareness of AADC Deficiency 
in the public and medical community in the United 
States; 
Whereas awareness of AADC Deficiency will help patients 
who may be experiencing the symptoms of AADC Defi-
ciency recognize their disease and pursue appropriate 
treatment; and

Deficiency will increase medical representation for indi-
