               TRIBUTE TO DANIEL ``DAN'' GROSSMAN-------

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. SCOTT McINNIS

                              of colorado

                    in the house of representatives

                     Thursday, November 14, 2002--

  Mr. McINNIS. Mr. Speaker, I would like to take this opportunity to 
honor the achievements of an outstanding member of the Colorado State 
Legislature, and thank him for all that he has done for the state. 
After three terms in the Colorado House of Representatives, Dan 
Grossman is leaving the House in order to pursue other opportunities, 
and I can think of no better way to thank Dan for his many years of 
service, than to bring his many accomplishments to light in front of 
this body of Congress.
  A Colorado native, Dan was born in Denver, where he also attended 
high school. He then received his Bachelors Degree in Political Science 
from the University of Kansas, and his Jurist Doctorate from Denver 
College of Law. Dan is currently a corporate attorney for Tele Tech 
Holdings, Inc.
  Dan was first elected to the house in 1996, and has since served on 
countless committees, working to improve the lives of those in Denver 
and in Arapahoe County. He has served diligently on the Judiciary, 
Agricultural, Livestock and Natural Resources Committees and is 
currently serving on the Executive Committee and the Veterans and 
Military affairs committee. Dan also served as the House Minority 
Leader for the 2001 and 2002 legislative sessions. During his time in 
the House, he has passionately dedicated himself to the issues of 
growth management, the environment, education and crime reduction.
  Dan's compassion and philanthropic spirit goes beyond the walls of 
his office, and has touched the lives of many Coloradans. He is a 
member of the anti-defamation League, the Civil Rights Committee, 
Colorado Common Cause, is a former board member of the Democratic 
Leadership Council, and is also involved in his temple, Temple Emanuel. 
A true Coloradan, Dan spends his free time outdoors, running, skiing, 
and biking.
  Mr. Speaker, I am positive that Dan's colleagues and constituents 
will sorely miss the leadership and compassion that he consistently 
gave to the State of Colorado, and I thank him for all that he has done 
for the state. I am honored to bring his accomplishments to the 
attention of this body of Congress, and wish him all the best in the 
future. His hard work and dedication truly embodies the spirit of the 
State, and it is with a great deal of pride that I thank him for his 
many years of public service.
