                        Tuesday, April 13, 1999

  Mr. SCHAFFER. Mr. Speaker, today I rise to pay tribute to the Pueblo 
Pachyderm Club of Pueblo, Colorado for its outstanding leadership and 
years of exemplary service to the local community.
  This patriotic association brings together common citizens to discuss 
and consider a wide spectrum of political topics both national and 
local in scope.
  Colorado Governor Bill Owens last month proclaimed April 20, 1999 
Pueblo Pachyderm Day in the State of Colorado. In honor of this 
recognition, I hereby submit for the Record a copy of the Governor's 
declaration.

 State of Colorado, Honorary Proclamation--Pueblo Pachyderm Day April 
                                20, 1999

       Whereas, the organization represents a unique concept for 
     political clubs by being patterned after the weekly meeting 
     type luncheon clubs, with programs centered around political 
     and governmental affairs; and
       Whereas, the Pueblo Pachyderm Club promotes the development 
     of future political leaders and citizen participation as 
     embodied in their motto, ``Free Government Requires Active 
     Citizens,'' and is open to both male and female members; and
       Whereas, the Pachyderm Clubs promote better government 
     through club programs and meetings open to the public, 
     providing scholarships for political science students, 
     sponsoring campaign workshops and encouraging awareness of 
     political affairs;
       Now, Therefore, I, Bill Owens, Governor of the State of 
     Colorado, do hereby proclaim April 20, 1999, as Pueblo 
     Pachyderm Day in the State of Colorado.
       GIVEN under my hand and the Executive Seal of the State of 
     Colorado, this tenth day of March 1999.
       Bill Owens Governor.
