You are the Special Assistant to the Governor of Texas.   He has asked you to write a briefing paper on a topic related to Texas or American Government.  The topic can be taken from a newspaper article, journal article or other periodicals.  Your goal is to give him information about the issue and to convince him of your position.  When writing the paper, please introduce the topic in the first section of your paper.  The body of the paper should contain the pertinent information that you want to convey – basically, give me both sides of the issues. In the conclusion, summarize the major points of the paper and give your recommendation to POTUS. You should give POTUS enough information that covers the topic.  It should be  doubled spaced with regular spacing and margins.  Use 10 pitch fonts.   You are not required in the paper to footnote sources, however, if you quote from a text, you must footnote the sources.   If you use more than one source, please include a bibliography.
