                      CONGRATULATIONS DAVID BAILEY

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. SCOTT McINNIS

                              of colorado

                    in the house of representatives

                        Tuesday, August 3, 1999

  Mr. McINNIS. Mr. Speaker, I would like to take a moment to recognize 
the career and contributions to small businesses of one of Colorado's 
esteemed citizens, president and chief operating officer of Norwest 
Bank Colorado, David E. Bailey. In doing so, I would like to honor this 
man who, for many years, has exhibited dedication and experience to the 
banking industry.
  Mr. Bailey has recently been honored for his achievements for small 
businesses. He began his career in 1969 by holding several managerial 
positions, at Norwest Bank in Denver. He went on to undertake the 
responsibilities of chairman, president, and CEO of Norwest Banks in 
Boulder, Greeley, and Fort Collins. At this time he also took 
responsibility for eight banks in northern Colorado. From there Mr. 
Bailey was elected chairman of the board and was in charge when the 
merger of Norwest Colorado, N.A. went into effect. He was then named 
president of Norwest, Colorado, N.A.
  David Bailey has more than proven himself a valuable asset to the 
business and banking system of Colorado. As a trustee of the Colorado 
State University Research Foundation, a member of the Denver Rotary and 
Colorado Concern he has also proven himself as an asset to the 
community of Colorado in general.
  It is with this, Mr. Speaker, that I say thank you to David E. Bailey 
on his truly exceptional career in the Norwest banking system and for 
his dedication to small businesses and our community at large. Due to 
Mr. Bailey's dedicated service, it is clear that Colorado is a better 
place
