                       Monday, November 17, 2003

  Mr. McINNIS. Mr. Speaker, I rise before you today to pay tribute to a 
remarkable small business in my district. The Star Bar in Pueblo, 
Colorado has been serving customers and its community for nearly a 
century, and it is my privilege to recognize its longevity and 
dedication to its customers here today.
  Over the years, a variety of owners have operated the renowned Star 
Bar. The bar's current proprietors, Louis and Linda DeNiro, bought the 
establishment approximately five years ago. Despite changes in 
ownership, the Star Bar has remained a constant in the lives of many 
Puebloans. In fact, little has changed since the business was featured 
in an issue of National Geographic. Due to its undeniable appeal, The 
Star Bar has been bringing customers back for decades, and will surely 
continue to do so for years to come.
  Mr. Speaker, dining establishments such as the Star Bar hold a 
special and important place in communities across the nation. Their 
customers find comfort in the consistently warm and friendly service. I 
am honored to stand here today before this body of Congress and this 
nation to recognize Pueblo's Star Bar and its many years of tremendous 
service.
