                        Thursday, June 15, 2000

  Mr. SCHAFFER. Mr. Speaker, today I honor Mr. Stan Pilcher who is 
retiring after 35 years of service as an Extension Agent for Colorado 
State University. His years of dedication in the Washington County 
office have earned him numerous accolades from his colleagues.
  In 1965 Mr. Pilcher graduated from the University of Arizona with a 
bachelor's degree in entomology and thereafter took his first position 
in Yuma, CO. The following year he pursued a master's degree from 
Colorado State University, and upon completion, began work in the 
Washington County Extension Office.
  In northeastern Colorado he is recognized as the primary contact for 
developing control measures in order to prevent pest outbreaks. 
Specifically, Mr. Pilcher's essential work fighting against the Russian 
Wheat Aphid, along with developing Best Management practices for 
chemigation in the Colorado Clean Water Act, and experiments for 
environmentally safe biological controls are commendable to the 
agriculture community.
  I wish Mr. Stan Pilcher a very happy retirement, and graciously thank 
him for his example of steadfast dedication to the agriculture 
community.
