                           HON. SCOTT McINNIS

                    in the house of representatives

                          Tuesday, May 2, 2000

  Mr. McINNIS. Mr. Speaker, I would like to take a moment to recognize 
an exceptional group, the Red Hill Council, who was honored by the 
Bureau of Land Management with the ``Making a Difference'' award. The 
BLM selected the Red Hill Council group because of their dedication to 
Colorado and to its outdoors.
  The Red Hill Council is comprised of volunteers, neighbors and 
community partners. Their mission is to aid the BLM in preserving 
several aspects of the Red Hill area. For over two years, the Council 
has held public discussions, conducted assessments and overseen 
volunteer programs. They have raised over $80,000 in contributions from 
the community.
  Mr. Speaker, it is obvious why the Red Hill Council was chosen for 
the ``Making a Difference'' award. I think we owe them a debt of 
gratitude for their service and dedication to Colorado and to its 
outdoors.
