  Mr. McINNIS. Mr. Speaker, it is my honor today to recognize Dave 
Sarton for his contributions to the State of Colorado. As a member of 
the Board of Directors of the Southeastern Colorado Water Conservancy 
District for sixteen years, he is moving his talents and experience to 
other endeavors. Dave has been an integral part of securing and 
distributing Colorado's most precious resource, water. As he reflects 
on his service to a grateful board, community, and state, I would like 
to commend him for his efforts to improve the lives of his fellow 
Coloradans.
  Dave has proven himself a valuable community, business, and 
governmental leader over the years and has served on countless 
committees in support of his community and state. He has served on the 
Colorado Springs City Council, on the Energy and Environment Committee 
of the National Association of Regional Councils, as director of the 
Colorado Springs Department of Public Utilities, as director and 
chairman of the Pikes Peak Area Council of Government, as president of 
Sunset Sertoma Club, as chairman of the El Paso Task Force on 
Alcoholism, as chair of the ARK Board of Directors, and as vice-chair 
of the Colorado Springs Chamber of Commerce. In addition to his 
community duties, he is a proud business owner and operates a quality 
service for Colorado Springs as the president of Sperry & Mock/The 
Floor Store, Inc.
  Mr. Speaker, I am proud to bring the accomplishments and achievements 
of David Sarton before this body today. His leadership, hard work, and 
dedication to improving the lives of his fellow Coloradans is an 
example for all aspiring community leaders and it is for this reason 
that I wish to bring his accomplishments before this body of Congress, 
and nation. Thank you for all your hard work Dave, I wish you all the 
best, and good luck in your future endeavors.
