                           HONORING JOHN FREW

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. SCOTT McINNIS

                              of colorado

                    in the house of representatives

                     Wednesday, September 13, 2000

  Mr. McINNIS. Mr. Speaker, I would like to take this moment to honor 
the considerable efforts of my friend, John Frew, during his 
accomplished tenure at Colorado Ski Country USA, the distinguished 
association that represents Colorado's ski industry. Recently, John 
announced that he was stepping down as its President and CEO. As John 
moves on, I would like to take this opportunity to thank and pay 
tribute to him for his dedicated service.
  You don't have to know much about the great State of Colorado to know 
that skiing is an important part of who we are, both economically and 
culturally. For years, Colorado Ski Country USA has been the unified 
voice of this important industry. And when this already highly regarded 
organization hired John Frew, that voice only got stronger.
  Colorado Ski Country USA brought John in to strengthen the operation, 
increasing its visibility and stepping up its role in the public policy 
arena. As someone in that arena, Mr. Speaker, I can say without 
hesitation to John: mission accomplished. Under John's leadership, 
Colorado Ski Country USA has thrived and for that the entire State of 
Colorado is grateful.
  It is with this that I say congratulations to John on his successful 
stint with Ski Country USA and wish him all the best as he returns to 
Brownstein, Hyatt & Farber P.C.A.
  John, your community, state and nation are thankful for your service.
