                          Friday, May 9, 2003

  Mr. McINNIS. Mr. Speaker, I would like to take this opportunity to 
congratulate two outstanding cattle ranchers from Plateau Valley,

[[Page E925]]

Colorado whose hard work and dedication exemplifies the spirit of the 
West. Harvey and Anis Kelley are no less pioneers than their 
grandparents who first came to Colorado in early part of the last 
century. They have carried on that proud tradition for the last fifty 
years, and I am proud to pay tribute to their accomplishments before 
this body of Congress today.
  No one can deny cattle ranching is a hard profession. There are no 
days off and no escape from inclement weather. Ranchers work from 
sunrise to sunset, and few today carry on this proud work and its 
traditions. Harvey and Anis are fine representatives of the heartland 
and their work is the life-blood of this nation. Therefore, it is with 
pride that I congratulate them upon receiving a lifetime recognition 
award from the Plateau Valley Cattlewomen at their Stockgrower's 
Banquet and Ball.
  Mr. Speaker, it is a great privilege for me to recognize Harvey and 
Anis Kelley before this body of Congress and this Nation for their 
contributions to Plateau Valley and our country. I trust that the years 
ahead will continue to find Harvey and Anis side by side making a 
difference in the history of Colorado and our country. Thank you Harvey 
and Anis for making Colorado a place where hard work and tradition 
still thrive.
