                        Thursday, March 27, 2003

  Mr. McINNIS. Mr. Speaker, it is with great pride that I rise today to 
recognize Steve and Jeanne Beckley of Glenwood Springs, Colorado. The 
Beckleys are dedicated members of the Glenwood Springs community, and 
it is my honor to pay tribute to their accomplishments before this body 
of Congress and this great nation.
  Steve and Jeanne are the owners of Glenwood Caverns, a landmark 
tourist attraction in the Glenwood Springs area. Recently, they have 
expanded the caves into a year-round attraction, beginning construction 
of an aerial tramway to be completed this spring, which will allow 
visitors to access the site from Iron Mountain. Their contributions to 
tourism in Glenwood Springs will help to bring even more visitors to 
the area. For their efforts, the Beckleys were recognized as Glenwood 
Springs Chamber Resort Association's Citizens of the Year for 2002.
  Mr. Speaker, it is with honor that I commend Steve and Jeanne Beckley 
before this body of Congress and this great nation for their efforts in 
the Glenwood Springs community. Their contributions have greatly 
benefited the people of Glenwood Springs and I am honored to have this 
opportunity to represent such fine Coloradans. I wish both Steve and 
Jeanne the best of luck with all of their future endeavors.
