                         Tuesday, July 16, 2002

  Mr. McINNIS. Mr. Speaker, today I stand before you to recognize the 
personal achievements of Mr. Keith Wier, of Denver, Colorado. Keith's 
contributions to environmental technology have been implemented 
throughout Colorado, our nation, and the world. Moreover, his tireless 
efforts to preserve our ecosystem have led to the creation of new 
methodologies for the disposing of toxins.
  Keith has used his MBA is Real Estate and Finance in all but the 
obvious manner. He has devoted his career to the development and 
manufacture of international products used in nuclear instrumentation. 
Keith's formation of the Resonant Shock Compaction in 1997 dramatically 
improved existing methods for contaminated granular waste disposal. He 
has also capitalized on grants received from the U.S. Department of 
Energy and the City of Denver Mayor's Office of Economic Development 
and International Trade to work jointly with the Japanese in the 
modernization of environmental export programs. In addition, Keith 
founded an international conglomerate of utility companies that studied 
the formation of construction products from coal burning byproducts. 
The published results helped commence the development of industries in 
India and Japan based on his research and findings.
  Mr. Speaker, it is with great pride I rise today to pay tribute for 
the works of Keith Wier. The results of his research have transformed 
former waste into necessary products, which has helped local agencies 
and the environment in numerous ways. Congratulations Keith and good 
luck in your future endeavors.
