                      Tuesday, September 30, 2003

  Mr. McINNIS. Mr. Speaker, it is with great enthusiasm that I rise 
before you today to honor an outstanding citizen from my district. 
Terry Tice of Telluride, Colorado is a remarkably giving person who 
focuses many of his efforts on assisting the town of Telluride and his 
fellow citizens. It is my privilege to pay tribute to Terry before this 
body of Congress and this nation for his positive role in the community 
and for his philanthropic spirit.
  Terry has lived in the Telluride area for over thirty years, 
operating the Telluride Trappings and Toggery with his wife Susan. The 
Toggery not only offers local high school kids employment during their 
breaks, it also provides numerous scholarships to high school 
graduates. In addition to his business, Terry has served on the town 
council for four terms and helped implement the Town Charter. He has 
been a member of the district school board and volunteered a great deal 
of his time to various community causes.
  Mr. Speaker, it is a great honor to stand before you today and 
recognize Terry's many attributes and dedication to his community. 
Terry's graciousness has recently prompted the Telluride Foundation, an 
organization centered around community philanthropy, to name him 
citizen of the year. I join the Telluride Foundation in congratulating 
Terry for his award. I would also like to thank him for his numerous 
contributions for the betterment of his community.
