                       Thursday, October 30, 2003

  Mr. McINNIS. Mr. Speaker, it is with a heavy heart that I rise before 
this body of Congress and this nation today to pay tribute to the life 
and memory of an outstanding citizen and community leader. Arthur Moss 
of Grand Junction, Colorado recently passed away at the age of eighty-
four. Art was very active in his community and leaves a legacy in Grand 
Junction worthy of praise. As his family and friends mourn his loss, I 
am honored to pay tribute to his life and accomplishments here today.
  Born in Canada and raised in Michigan, Art moved to Grand Junction in 
1955. He was a community leader from the beginning, serving as the 
first Director of Club 20, an organization dedicated to representing 
the concerns and interests of the communities of Western Colorado. Art 
helped bring Grand Valley Daybreak, an adult daycare program, to Grand 
Junction. In addition, he served as President of the Western Colorado 
American Boy Scouts and Chairman of Mesa County Republicans. An endless 
list of organizations have benefited from Art's influence, from the 
Masonic Lodge to the United Fund. No matter what the cause, Art always 
helped get the job done.
  Mr. Speaker, Arthur Moss was a true community leader. Unconcerned 
with seeking credit for his work, Art worked tirelessly to improve his 
community. He was a dedicated and driven man who wanted the best for 
his friends and neighbors. While Art has passed on, his legacy is sure 
to live for many years to come. I am honored to join with my colleagues 
in remembering the life and accomplishments of Arthur Moss here today, 
and my thoughts are with his family during this difficult time.
