                        Tuesday, October 2, 2001

  Mr. McINNIS. Mr. Speaker, I would like to take a moment to 
acknowledge the selfless dedication of the Montrose County Sheriff's 
Posse. This organization in Montrose County consists of over forty 
members that volunteer their time and services to their community.
  The Posse helps the residents of Montrose County in times of need by 
providing assistance with search and rescue efforts and forest fire 
control as well as many other relief activities. In the year 2000, they 
provided over 2,300 hours of not only their time and effort but also 
their own equipment. They have managed to remain an effective 
organization because of the dedication of their volunteer members. The 
Montrose County Sheriff's Posse provides important public service to a 
community that makes an effort to financially fund the volunteer 
organization.
  Mr. Speaker, the Montrose County Sheriff's Posse provides an 
essential service to their community. Their commitment to such an 
important cause is admirable. I would like to thank the Posse for their 
valuable assistance and wish them continued success and community 
support in their future efforts.
