                              of colorado

                    in the house of representatives

                      Thursday, September 20, 2001

  Mr. SHAFFER. Mr. Speaker, I rise tonight to recognize Will Heermann 
of Haxtun, Colorado. Will was one of only nine to be selected at the 
National Future Business Leaders of America convention to be a part of 
the national officer team. For this, Mr. Speaker, the United States 
Congress should honor him.
  Will led the regional FBLA leadership conference in Denver and was 
also a guest speaker, contest judge, and led workshops at many other 
regional conferences. According to Will's teachers, he is an energetic, 
hardworking, and caring young man, an outstanding student, and 
dedicated to helping others while contributing to his community. Will 
has been instrumental in many organizations from being a group leader 
in the March of Dimes project to participating in the ``burn-the-
mortgage'' campaign.
  Mr. Speaker, students like Will Heermann take our minds off of all 
the negative and tragic events in our Nation's schools, and focus on 
all the positives. As a constituent of Colorado's Fourth Congressional 
District, Will is truly someone who can be looked up to by young people 
everywhere. He makes his community, and his State and country proud. I 
ask the House to join me in extending wholehearted congratulations to 
Mr. Will Heermann.
