                         TRIBUTE TO CINDY BOWEN

                                 ______


                           HON. SCOTT McINNIS

                               of colorado

                    in the house of representatives

                        Monday, February 6, 1995
  Mr. McINNIS. Mr. Speaker, today I rise to recognize an outstanding 
Coloradan, Mrs. Cindy Bowen, on the occasion of her being awarded 1994 
Commissioner of the Year.
  Each year the Colorado Counties Board of Directors select a Colorado 
county commissioner in recognition of their achievements and 
contributions they have made the previous year. Cindy Bowen is no 
exception. Her innovative approach to problem solving made her a 
valuable player, not only in local politics, but in national politics 
as well. Through her hard work, Commissioner Bowen was instrumental in 
convincing Members of Congress of the need to increase funding to 
counties in order to compensate taxpayers for the impact of tax-exempt 
supporters.
  Furthermore, Cindy Bowen is very active in several public land issues 
and participated in reviewing the Department of Interior's rangeland 
reform proposals. In my opinion, Cindy is a very intelligent choice to 
be named this years Commissioner of the Year.
   [[Page E277]] Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in marking 
this occasion, and saluting Cindy Bowen.
