                     A TRIBUTE TO STEVE ARVESCHOUG

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. BOB SCHAFFER

                              of colorado

                    in the house of representatives

                        Tuesday, April 13, 1999

  Mr. SCHAFFER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to Mr. Steve 
Arveschoug, the General Manager of the Southeastern Colorado Water 
Conservancy District. Mr. Arveschoug has demonstrated an unparalleled 
commitment to his work on behalf of the district's many water users. He 
has emerged as a national leader on the complex and frustrating issue 
of Bureau of Reclamation oversight. Mr. Arveschoug's tireless efforts 
have led to a Congressional initiative to examine Bureau of Reclamation 
practices. Moreover, his keen eye for detail and persistence in 
negotiations has undoubtedly saved water users and the taxpayers a 
significant amount of hard-earned dollars. I commend Steve Arveschoug 
for his solid efforts, and I look forward to working with him in the 
future.
