                 HONORING JOHN MUMMA ON HIS RETIREMENT

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. SCOTT McINNIS

                              of colorado

                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, February 2, 2000

  Mr. McINNIS. Mr. Speaker, I would like to take a moment to recognize 
a man who has demonstrated deep care for his country and community.
  John Mumma will be retiring after acting as a public servant for over 
27 years. John, Division of Wildlife Director, decided that he needed 
to spend more time with his family. John realized that he was spending 
all of his time at work and that his family was paying the price.
  After serving the Forest Service for over 27 years, John will be 
sorely missed. He has had a long and distinguished career in public 
service. John became the Director of the Division of Wildlife in 
November of 1995. Just after he was named director, the division faced 
the daunting task of completely revamping its management structure. He 
had the ability to lead the agency through that massive project and 
many great successes during his distinguished tenure.
  It is with this, Mr. Speaker, that I would like to offer this tribute 
in honor of John's service with the Division of Wildlife over the last 
27 years. The State of Colorado will be hard pressed to find another 
leader like him.
