  Mr. McINNIS. Mr. Speaker, I would like to take this opportunity to 
pay tribute to the Southeast Colorado Cattlewoman of the Year, Jennie 
Adrian of La Junta, Colorado. Jennie was chosen for Cattlewoman of the 
Year because she possesses all the specific traits of a great 
Cattlewoman. She is dependable, caring, smart, trustful, creative, and 
a hardworking partner in a ranching family. She is a generous soul 
whose good deeds and generous acts certainly deserve the recognition of 
this body of Congress, and this nation.
  Jennie was born in La Junta, Colorado and lived on a ranch near Kim 
until her family moved to Prescott, Arizona, where she finished school 
and later met her husband. Together they moved to Aspen, Colorado where 
they bought a ranch near Salida and raised their two children, Rusty 
and Audra. Jennie first became involved in Cowbelles in Chaffee County 
in 1967 where she served as Chairman for several committees and held 
several offices including President in 1981. She currently holds the 
office of Cowbelle Vice President in Otero County.
  Mr. Speaker, Jennie Adrian has proven herself to be a committed 
mother and wife as well as an extraordinary Cattlewoman and it is my 
honor to congratulate Jennie on her most recent and well-deserved award 
before this body of Congress and this nation. Congratulations Jennie 
and good luck to you and your family in all your future community 
endeavors.
