  Mr. SCHAFFER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor John Korrey of 
Iliff, CO, who recently received the 2002 World Champion Livestock 
Auctioneer title.
  John is an extraordinary auctioneer, a skill that is highly admired 
in eastern Colorado. His talent helps ranchers earn top dollar for 
their stock. In fact, John has received other top accolades for his 
talent, including the Greater Midwest Champion Livestock Auctioneer in 
2002 and International Champion Livestock Auctioneer in 1998. John is 
only one of four individuals globally to hold these three titles.
  John Korrey is a native of Iliff, CO. Raised as a family farmer and 
rancher, John now runs Korrey Auctions, his own business, and is 
partner in Premier Livestock Exchange. At home, John enjoys farming 
with his wife Janna and his daughters Heidi and Lacey.
  Mr. Speaker, I congratulate John Korrey and ask the House of 
Representatives to join me in wishing him success as World Champion 
Livestock Auctioneer.
