Recognizing the strategic importance of the Panama Canal to the economic strength of the United States and the State of Texas.

This Senate Concurrent Resolution (SCR 37) is a symbolic resolution recognizing the Panama Canal's importance to U.S. and Texas economic interests. It highlights how the canal enables trade flow for Texas ports handling key exports like LNG, oil, and agricultural goods, and emphasizes the need for canal security. The resolution urges federal leadership to prioritize diplomatic engagement with Panama and supports continued investment in Texas port infrastructure. As a non-binding resolution, it does not create new law but formally expresses Texas' position to federal officials and the Congressional Record.
