                        Wednesday, June 19, 2002

  Mr. McINNIS. Mr. Speaker, I would like to take this opportunity to 
pay tribute to the Mountain States Legal Foundation, an organization 
that has selflessly led efforts to sustain and improve the interests of 
the community. I applaud the efforts of each and every individual that 
made it possible to build the new foundation's headquarters.
  The Legal Foundation celebrates its 25th anniversary by dedicating 
its new headquarters on June 6, 2002. The vision and determination of 
MSLF, has produced a state of the art, professional building, located 
in the suburbs of Denver, Colorado. MSLF was established to advocate 
the quest for free enterprise and maintain the country's laws 
established and preserved by the Constitution. On June 6th, their 25th 
birthday, I pay tribute to MSLF's accomplishments and relocation to 
their new location.
  MSLF extends its outreach to the communities and businesses seeking 
assistance. Many of MSLF's activities include conservation and 
preservation of our natural resources and environment. MSLF has 
assisted in the fight to preserve and protect our wetlands and national 
forests. MSLF has defended our rights and liberties within the 
judiciary system. It is because of foundations and organizations like 
MSLF, that we are able to live in this nation of freedom.
  Mr. Speaker, it is with great pride I honor such an outstanding 
organization before this body of Congress and this nation. The Mountain 
States Legal Foundation contributes so much to our nation and 
community, it is fitting they celebrate 25 wonderful years. Thank you 
to all individuals who worked hard and diligently to reach these 
outstanding achievements.
