                          Tuesday, May 7, 2002

  Mr. McINNIS. Mr. Speaker, I would like to take this opportunity to 
pay tribute to Bill Webster 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 two terms in the Colorado State House of Representatives, 
Bill has served on a number of committees, including his two current 
committees, Agriculture, Livestock & Natural Resources, where he serves 
as vice-chairman, and Local Government. In addition, Bill served for 
eight years as the Weld County Commissioner, and worked at the Webster 
Land & Cattle Company.
  Not only has Bill served the community effectively as a member of the 
Colorado General Assembly, he has also done his part as an active 
humanitarian. He is the past president of the Greeley Chamber of 
Commerce, Greeley Rotary Club and the Boys and Girls Club of Greeley. 
He is also a past director of Safeway Stores, Inc., Colorado Water 
Congress and the National Cattlemen's Association, and serves on the 
Colorado Agriculture Commission and the Greeley Planning Commission. 
Perhaps most importantly, Bill is married to his wife Sylvia, and they 
have three children.
  Mr. Speaker, it is clear that Bill Webster 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.
