              COLORADO STATE REPRESENTATIVE MARCY MORRISON

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. SCOTT McINNIS

                              of colorado

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, May 23, 2000

  Mr. McINNIS. Mr. Speaker, I wanted to take this moment to recognize 
the career of one of Colorado's leading statesmen, State Representative 
Marcy Morrison. In doing so, I would like to honor this individual who, 
for so many years, has exemplified the notion of public service and 
civic duty. It is clear that Representative Morrison's dynamic 
leadership will be greatly missed and difficult to replace.
  Elected to the Colorado House of Representatives in 1992, a seat she 
would hold to present time, she served on the Health and Judiciary 
Committees. She sponsored the Post Delivery Care for Stays in Hospitals 
and immunization for more Colorado children. Marcy has also been very 
active on the health care issues for seniors, the disabled, and child 
care.
  Representative Morrison received many honors. She received the Women 
of Spirit Award from the Colorado Counseling Association, as well as, 
the Outstanding School Board Member award-Gates Scholarship from the 
Kennedy School. Marcy has also received awards from the Colorado 
Obstetrics & Gynecology Society, the Pediatric Society and the Colorado 
Planners Association.
  This year marked the end of Representative Morrison's tenure in 
elected office. Her career embodied the citizen-legislator ideal and 
was a model that every official in elected office should seek to 
emulate. The citizens of Colorado owe Representative Morrison a debt of 
gratitude and I wish her well.
