  Mr. McINNIS. Mr. Speaker, I would like to take a moment to pause and 
remember the life of Richard Weber who sadly passed away on December 
16, 1999. He was 87 years old.
  Richard was born on September 19, 1912 in Canton, Oklahoma. He moved 
to Dove Creek, Colorado in May of 1946, and became very active in his 
community. In 1947, Richard donated land for the Weber Park and in the 
1950's he developed the Weber Subdivision. Richard was a faithful 
member of the Dolores County Republican Committee for 40 years, a 
school board member, Dolores County Commissioner and a member of the 
Lions Club and the Southwest Cattlemen's Association.
  It is with this, Mr. Speaker, that I would like to pay tribute to 
Richard Weber. He was a great American and always strived to make his 
community a better place to live. He will be missed by all those who 
knew him.
