                      Wednesday, December 19, 2001

  Mr. SCHAFFER. Mr. Speaker, it is an honor to rise today to 
congratulate to Mr. Gerald Mayo of Estes Park, Colorado, who was 
recently named honorary-chairman of the National Small Business 
Advisory Council. For this, Mr. Speaker, the United States Congress 
should commend him.
  The National Small Business-Advisory Council provides a link between 
small business owners and Members of Congress, The purpose of the 
council is to give input on economic and tax issues while also 
participating in private surveys and policy briefings. The council 
achieves this through participation in strategy sessions and national 
meetings with local, state and national leaders. I applaud the National 
Small Business Advisory Council and its new chairman Gerald Mayo, for 
creating an alliance between the nation's leadership and the small 
business community.
  A broker for Prudential Team Realty, Gerald Mayo has first-hand 
experience with small businesses. His leadership and dedication to 
small businesses across the nation is commendable and greatly 
appreciated. Gerald is truly a shining example for all Americans.
  A constituent of Colorado's Forth Congressional District, Gerald not 
only makes his community proud, but also his state and country. It is a 
true honor to have such an extraordinary citizen in Colorado. I ask the 
House to join me in extending wholehearted congratulations to Mr. 
Gerald Mayo.
