                        TRIBUTE TO DAVID BREWER

                                 ______
                                 

                             SCOTT McINNIS

                              of colorado

                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, November 10, 1999

  Mr. McINNIS. Mr. Speaker, I would like to take a moment to honor the 
courageous behavior of David Brewer. On August 15, David's daughter--
Maretta--fell through a plate glass window, lacerating her arm and 
putting her life in eminent peril. Fortunately for Maretta, her calm 
and even-headed father applied pressure to her arm, saving both her arm 
and life.
  While saving the life of his beautiful daughter is clearly enough 
reward in and of itself, Mr. Speaker, I thought that it was important 
that we all congratulate and thank David for his admirable behavior. 
Though none of us would ever wish to be thrust into a perilous 
situation like Maretta's and David's, if we were, we could only hope to 
act as calmly and bravely as David Brewer.
