                      Wednesday, October 15, 2003

  Mr. UDALL of Colorado. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to 
Dan Corson, who will retire next month as a member of the Boulder, 
Colorado City Council.
  Elected to the Council in 1997, Don has had a notable career in 
public service.
  Dan graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree in History from Miami 
University in Ohio, received a Master of Arts degree from the 
University of Denver, and a Juris Doctor degree from the University of 
Colorado Law School. He clerked for Judge Luis Rovira in Denver 
District Court and worked as an attorney in civil litigation.
  As a member of Colorado Preservation, Inc., the National Trust for 
Historic Preservation, Historic Boulder and the Colorado Heritage Area 
Partnership, Dan has been a strong contributor to saving Colorado's 
history. Dan also served as a member of the City of Boulder's Planning 
Board and the City Landmarks Preservation Advisory Board, and shared 
his expertise to benefit the community and the state.
  Dan now serves as the local government liaison for the Colorado 
Historical Society, working with citizens and local government 
officials interested in establishing historic preservation commissions 
by offering technical advice, drafting ordinances and resolutions and 
offering training regarding conducting meetings, preservation law and 
design review. Dan also administers grants to both local governments 
and the Historic Preservation Fund grants from the National Park 
Service.
  Committed to providing progressive leadership on the City Council, 
Corson worked diligently to forge a strategy to find more affordable 
housing for Boulder citizens, while tightening the city's budget during 
difficult economic times. He also supported the largest purchase of 
open space in the city's history.
  With the unique combination of public, private and nonprofit 
experience, Dan Corson has been an admirable public servant committed 
to bringing wisdom and innovative ideas to city government.
  On behalf of the residents of Boulder, I thank him for his service on 
the Boulder City Council and wish him well in all his future endeavors.
