                    in the house of representatives

                     Wednesday, September 27, 2000

  Mr. McINNIS. Mr. Speaker, I would like to take this moment to commend 
the Honorable Frank Hodsoll on his outstanding service to his 
community. Frank is stepping down as Ouray County Commissioner after 
three years of service. Frank is extremely active in his community and 
his leadership as Commissioner will be greatly missed. As family, 
friends and the Ouray community thank Frank for his service, I too 
would like to pay tribute to this distinguished American.
  Leadership and public service come naturally to Frank. Over the past 
several years, he has served both his community and State well in a 
number of different organizations. He is currently serving as Vice 
Chair of the National Association of Counties (NACo) Telecommunications 
& Technology Steering Committee, Chair of the NACo Rural Action Caucus 
Telecommunications Committee, and has served as Director of both the 
Colorado River Water Conservation District and the Center of Arts and 
Culture in Washington, DC.
  Beyond his efforts in Ouray, Frank has had a long and illustrious 
career in government, both at the local and national levels. Before 
working to improve the community of Ouray County, he worked with a 
number of the nation's most prominent governmental institutions, like 
the Departments of State and Commerce. Frank also served as Chairman of 
the National Endowment for the Arts, Deputy Assistant to President 
Reagan and Deputy to White House Chief of Staff James Baker.
  Frank, you have served your community, State and Nation admirably. On 
behalf of the State of Colorado and the US Congress, I thank you for 
your generous and valued service to the Ouray community and to these 
United States. Best of luck in all of your future endeavors.

                          ____________________
