                        Wednesday, June 19, 2002

  Mr. McINNIS. Mr. Speaker, it is with a profound sense of gratitude 
that I pay tribute to Ted Hayden as he concludes his service to the 
people of Delta County after thirteen years as a County Commissioner. 
Ted's devotion to his neighbors and love for the town of Paonia, 
Colorado, where he has lived for the last thirty years, has served as a 
shining example of the selfless nature that is indicative of a true 
public servant.
  During his time as County Commissioner, Ted has concentrated his 
efforts on serving the people of his region by protecting their 
interests in public lands and community property. Ted has dealt with 
many diverse issues during his career in public service, from budgets 
to airports and landfills. He has approached each with an insight and 
integrity that is worthy of the recognition that we bestow here today.
  Mr. Speaker, it is my honor to bring to the attention of this body of 
Congress a man whose love for his community, and whose willingness to 
sacrifice in its service, is an inspiration to those who have lived in 
Delta County. As a public servant, Ted Hayden's time as County 
Commissioner has been an inspirational example to those of us who serve 
our nation in elective office. It is with gratitude for his time of 
service to Delta County, Colorado that I recognize Ted's ongoing 
devotion to the people and community that he loves.
