                          Tuesday, May 7, 2002

  Mr. McINNIS. Mr. Speaker, I would like to take this opportunity to 
pay tribute to Nolbert Chavez and thank him for his contributions in 
the Colorado General Assembly. His hard work and dedication is greatly 
appreciated, and I am honored to pay tribute to him today in front of 
this body of Congress. He will long be remembered as an effective State 
Representative, and will continue to be known as a leader in the 
community. As he moves on in his career, let it be known that I, along 
with people of Colorado, am grateful for all that he has done for the 
Colorado General Assembly.
  During his four terms in the Colorado State House of Representatives, 
Nolbert has served on a number of committees, including his two current 
committees, Criminal Justice and House Services. In addition, he is 
active in the North Denver Democratic Party, was appointed twice to the 
Governors Developmental Disabilities Planning Council.
  Not only has Nolbert served the community effectively as a member of 
the Colorado General Assembly, he has also done his part as an active 
humanitarian. He is on the Board of Directors of the Colorado Hispanic 
Media Association, and is the past director of the Denver Community 
Development Corporation and El Dorado Development Corporation. He is a 
Public Information Officer with Denver Options, and is also a real 
estate broker. Perhaps most importantly, Nolbert is married to his wife 
Judy, and the two have a daughter, Hope Christina.
  Mr. Speaker, it is clear that Nolbert Chavez has served his state 
well by providing significant service during his distinguished tenure 
in the Colorado General Assembly. I am honored to be able to bring his 
hard work and dedication to the attention of this body of Congress. It 
is my privilege to be able to express to him, and to this country, my 
gratitude for all that he has done for our wonderful state, and I wish 
him all the best in his future endeavors.
