  Mr. McINNIS. Mr. Speaker, I would like to take a moment to recognize 
an exceptional man, George Ding-Felder. In February, George was 
recognized as the ``Heat Hero'' in honor of his outstanding 
achievements in the area of drunk driving arrests. For his efforts in 
this area, George is eminently deserving of the thanks and admiration 
of this great body. George became a state trooper in 1995 and has 
served with great distinction ever since. As proof, look no farther 
than his record in combating drunk driving. In 1999 alone, he had 130 
DUI/DUID arrests. It is obvious that George and his untiring efforts to 
help his community have made a real difference. He personifies the 
spirit that this award stands for and we all can learn from the example 
he has set.
  It is clear why this outstanding American was chosen as the recipient 
of the ``Heat

Hero'' award. His efforts in the fight against drunk driving have made 
his community a safer place. In fact, his commitment to this important 
cause has probably saved many a life. I think that we all owe George a 
debt of gratitude for his service to the state. Due to George's 
dedication, it is clear that Colorado is a better and safer place. Your 
community, state and nation are grateful for your dedicated service, 
George.
