                      TRIBUTE TO TIMOTHY TYMKOVICH

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. SCOTT McINNIS

                              of colorado

                    in the house of representatives

                         Monday, June 16, 2003

  Mr. McINNIS. Mr. Speaker, I am honored to stand before this body of 
Congress and this nation today to pay tribute to Timothy Tymkovich, who 
will soon become the next federal appellate judge for the Tenth 
Judicial Circuit. A Colorado native, Timothy has spent his career 
practicing law and serving the people of Colorado. I am proud to stand 
today and congratulate Timothy on his appointment.
  Timothy began his distinguished law career at the University of 
Colorado School of Law, where he became the managing editor of the 
University's Law Review. Upon graduation in 1982, Timothy worked for 
Chief Justice William H. Erickson of the Colorado Supreme Court. He was 
appointed as Colorado's Solicitor General in 1991, working with both 
Republicans and Democrats effectively. He left that post in 1996, 
returning to practice law in the private sector. In addition to his 
time in the courtroom, Timothy has served on the Governor's Columbine 
Review Commission and currently chairs the Colorado Board of Ethics.
  Mr. Speaker, Timothy Tymkovich is an outstanding member of the 
Colorado community who certainly deserves the praise of this body of 
Congress and this nation. The commitment he has given to Colorado and 
to the practice of law clearly shows his dedication to justice. Timothy 
will be a fantastic judge in the Tenth Circuit and it is my pleasure to 
congratulate him here today.
