               PAYING TRIBUTE TO EDWIN GEORGE PERLMUTTER

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. SCOTT McINNIS

                              of colorado

                    in the house of representatives

                          Tuesday, May 7, 2002

  Mr. McINNIS. Mr. Speaker, it is an honor today to recognize the 
accomplishments of Edwin George Perlmutter and his tenure in the 
Colorado General Assembly. For many years, Ed has faithfully served his 
constituents and fellow Coloradans in his service to civil, business, 
and volunteer communities. He is now leaving the state assembly to 
pursue new undertakings, and as he finds use for his talents elsewhere, 
I can think of no better way to thank Ed for his hard work and service 
than to bring forth his accomplishments before this body of Congress, 
and this nation.
  Ed is an attorney providing law services to his community with the 
firm of Berenbaum, Weinshienk & Easton, P.C. since 1978. In 1994, he 
began his political career in the state senate and has served as Vice-
Chair of the Public Policy and Planning committee, and a member of the 
Legal Services and Legislative Council committees. He is well regarded 
as a selfless volunteer to needy causes and divides his time among 
various charities in his area. He serves as a member of the Applewood 
Business Association, as well as the West, Northwest and Golden 
Chambers; and is frequently seen providing his energy to multiple 
sports youth associations, Maple Grove Elementary School, the Girl 
Scouts, and the Applewood Community Church. When Ed is not working in 
the legislature he is serving in his other role as loving husband and 
devoted father of three children.
  Mr. Speaker, Ed has long been a valued member of our Colorado 
community, both as an elected official and as a citizen. While I am 
sure he will be missed in the Colorado State Senate, I know that he 
will undoubtedly succeed in his future undertakings and I am proud to 
be able to bring his hard work and dedication to the attention of this 
body of Congress, and this nation. Thank you Ed, for all of your hard 
work for Colorado and good luck in your future endeavors.
