  Mr. McINNIS. Mr. Speaker, I would like to take this opportunity to 
acknowledge the outstanding efforts and hard work of Mr. Jack Quinn. 
Because of his leadership, work ethic, and selection to participate in 
the Washington, DC Fannie Mae Partnership Summit, I now honor this 
remarkable man.
  Mr. Quinn received a bachelor of science degree from Fairfield 
University and later earned a master of arts in public administration 
from the University of Northern Colorado. After finishing his 
education, he went on to serve the people of Colorado, specifically 
Pueblo, CO, in various capacities.
  Jack Quinn has been an active participant in many housing 
organizations including Neighborhood Reinvestment Corporation, Colorado 
Housing Finance Authority, and Pueblo Neighborhood Housing Services. He 
was instrumental in founding the Mountain/Plains Regional Council of 
the National Association of Housing and Redevelopment Officials in 
1973. Recently, he completed a 2-year term as National President of 
this association.
  Mr. Quinn also takes an active role in his community, serving as the 
chairman of the board of St. Mary Corwin Regional Medical Center and 
chairman of the Finance Committee for Pueblo Community College 
Foundation. At one time, he also dedicated his time and energy to 
serving as Chairman of United Way. Presently, Mr. Jack Quinn works with 
the Pueblo Chamber of Commerce, the Latino Chamber of Commerce, and the 
State Fair.
  Mr. Jack Quinn is a unique and valuable individual. Working for the 
Pueblo Housing Authority for over 30 years, he has served as Executive 
Director for 27 of those years. I greatly appreciate his role in 
leadership, his involvement and dedication to the Pueblo community, and 
the example he sets.
