                        Wednesday, July 9, 2003

  Mr. McINNIS. Mr. Speaker, I am honored to stand before this body of 
Congress today to pay tribute to an outstanding American. Jack 
Chenoweth, Jr. of Pueblo, Colorado selflessly served this great nation 
throughout his long and dedicated life. As we recognize his passing, it 
is with great pride that I highlight the many contributions that Jack 
made to his community and our nation.
   Jack answered the call to military and government service several 
times throughout his life. Upon graduation from Trinidad High School, 
he joined the U.S. Navy and served in the South Pacific until the end 
of World War II. Jack went on to graduate from the University of Denver 
in 1951 and married Mary Ann Kennedy two years later, eventually 
embarking on a 24-year career with the FBI. After his retirement from 
the FBI, Jack continued his work as an investigator for Pueblo County. 
He also made a major impact upon the Pueblo community as an active 
member of the Republican Party, a member of the Society of Former 
Special Agents of the FBI, a Rotarian, and a past president of the El 
Pueblo Boys and Girls Ranch.
   Mr. Speaker, I am proud to stand before this body of Congress today 
to recognize Jack Chenoweth, Jr. for his devotion to the Pueblo 
community and his service to our country. Citizens like Jack provide 
the spirit and strength of character that make this nation great. While 
he will be dearly missed, we can all take solace in the knowledge that 
Jack's spirit lives on through those whom he has touched.
