                           HONORING DON BAIN

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. SCOTT McINNIS

                              of colorado

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, March 13, 1997

  Mr. McINNIS. Mr. Speaker, I would like to take this opportunity today 
to honor the hard work and strong leadership of one of our Party's most 
dedicated volunteers. For the past 4 years, Don Bain has served as 
chairman of the Colorado Republican Party. Since taking office in 1993, 
Chairman Bain has worked tirelessly on behalf of the Republican Party 
and its candidates. He has striven to advance the principles of the 
Republican Party while maintaining the highest level of integrity and 
earning the respect of friend and foe alike. His record of achievement 
is truly impressive.
  Mr. Bain's work has resulted in Republican gains across Colorado as 
well as an increase in voter participation--an essential element of our 
representative process. Our gains in registered Republican voters, 
gains in the State legislative majority and gains in Republican held 
statewide elected offices are due in large part to the Herculean 
efforts of Don Bain. These gains have elevated the Colorado Republican 
Party to its strongest level in years.
  Mr. Speaker, the political process depends on the hard work of 
volunteers as well as the ability of all of us to engage in 
constructive and informative political discourse. As Don Bain ends his 
tenure as chairman of the Colorado Republican Party, I, along with the 
rest of the Republicans in the Colorado Congressional Delegation, want 
to thank him for his commitment to our cause and convey our utmost 
respect which he so rightfully deserves.
