                        TRIBUTE TO STEVE SHERICK

  Mr. BAUCUS. Madam President, all too often, Federal bureaucrats are 
depicted in a negative light. Today, however, I want to recognize the 
retirement of a man who personifies the best of public service, Steve 
Sherick. Steve worked for the U.S. Forest Service for almost 35 years. 
Throughout his career, he never forgot that he worked for the public, 
and the public never forget what a good friend they had in Steve 
Sherick.
  Perhaps Steve's greatest asset is that he came from Butte. As most 
every Montanan knows, Butte natives are blessed with strong character, 
a good sense of humor, an abundance of charisma, and an unflagging 
loyalty to Montana. Steve has all the above and then some.
  For the past 25 years, Steve worked as a public affairs officer at 
Region 1 Headquarters. During my tenure here in Washington, DC, Steve 
became a good friend and a strong ally in protecting the interests of 
Montanans on issues relating to Forest Service policy. For that I am 
truly thankful.
  Steve, I am going to miss you, Montanans are going to regret seeing 
you go, and the Forest Service is going to have a tough time finding 
your equal. On this, the day of your retirement from government 
service, I want to recognize all you have done for Montana and the 
Nation.
