                 COLORADO STATE SENATOR MARYANNE TEBEDO

                                 ______
                                 

                           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 Senator 
MaryAnne Tebedo. In doing so, I would like to honor this individual 
who, for many years, has exemplified the notion of public service and 
civic duty. It is clear that Senator Tebedo's dynamic leadership will 
be greatly missed and difficult to replace.
  Elected to the Colorado Senate in 1988, she was the chairman of the 
State of Veterans Military Affairs Committee and served on the Finance 
Committee. She also served as parliamentarian. She worked hard on 
issues concerning concealed weapons, State boards and highways.
  Senator Tebedo received many honors. In 1992 she received the NFIB 
Guardian of Small Business Award, the CACI Business Legislator of the 
Year Award. She was also honored by Freedom Magazine as a Human Rights 
Advocate.
  This year marked the end of Senator Tebedo'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 Senator Tebedo a debt of gratitude and I wish 
her well.
