                       RECOGNIZING JEFFREY GREEN

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. GEORGE RADANOVICH

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                     Wednesday, September 10, 2003

  Mr. RADANOVICH. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay homage to Jeffrey 
Green, who is retiring this month after 20 years of service to the 
people of my home County, Mariposa. Jeff became County Counsel in 
October, 1983, and for twenty years has served with distinction in that 
capacity. He has served the elected officials, the staff and the 
citizens of the county well for those two decades.
  During Jeff's tenure, he has had the distinction of serving many 
different members of the Board of Supervisors--so many that I confess I 
lost count after 15 or so--of which I am proud to say I was one. 
Working with Jeff was a learning experience for me. He provided sound 
legal advice, and was the steady hand that ensured that there would be 
few crises. Jeff also wrote and monitored ordinances, contracts and 
other legal documents, and was a source of information, opinions and 
assistance whenever asked. He always addressed Board concerns and 
concerns of individual Board members in a timely and professional 
manner.
  In addition to his legal and administrative skills, Jeff is an expert 
fly-fisherman. I am sure that after his successful 20 year career in 
Mariposa County, he is looking forward to trying out the latest flies 
and catching all the fish he missed while the Board was in session.
  Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to honor my friend Jeffrey Green upon his 
retirement as County Counsel for Mariposa County, California. He will 
be missed by all but the fish.

                          ____________________
