  Mr. McINNIS. Mr. Speaker, it is an honor to recognize the 
contributions and achievements of Peter H. Coors. As chairman of Coors 
Brewing Company and the President/CEO of Adolph Coors, he is a shining 
example of personal success and civic responsibility.
  A native resident of Golden, Colorado, Peter, known as Pete, has 
continued to lead his family's brewery in a manner befitting its fine 
reputation. As the head of this company, Pete provides the leadership 
and vision needed to bring this family tradition into the twenty-first 
century. His positions on the boards of directors of companies like US. 
Bancorp, Inc., H.J. Heinz Company, and the Energy Corporation of 
America are a reflection of the respect that Pete has earned from his 
colleagues. Pete is also a member of the International Chapter of the 
Young Presidents Organization. Pete is a true Coloradan is his business 
and in his nature: he can often be found outdoors appreciating the 
beauty and splendor of Colorado.
  In addition to Pete's contributions to Colorado's economy, he has 
also given his time and energy to humanitarian causes as well. He is on 
the executive board of the Denver Area Council of the Boy Scouts of 
America, a member of the National Western Stock Show Association 
executive committee, and a trustee for the Seeds of Hope Foundation. 
Pete, who has a MBA degree, knows the value of higher education and 
remains active as a trustee of the University of Northern Colorado and 
a member of Denver University Daniels School of Business' Advisory 
Board. Most importantly Pete is the husband of his wife Marilyn and is 
a father to his six children.
  Mr. Speaker, it is an honor and privilege to bring to light the 
excellence of Pete Coors to this body of Congress and this nation. In 
every aspect of his life Pete has excelled to the highest level of 
achievement. He has no doubt touched many lives through his civic work 
and leadership in our country and will continue to do so in the future. 
On behalf of this nation, thank you Pete for all that you have done and 
good luck in your future endeavors.
