                      TRIBUTE TO MARJORIE CLEMENT

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. SCOTT McINNIS

                              of colorado

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, February 24, 2004

  Mr. MCINNIS. Mr. Speaker, it is with profound sadness that I rise 
before you to recognize Marjorie Clement of Jefferson County, Colorado, 
who recently passed away at the age of 81. She was a stellar public 
servant who will be missed by many, and I think it appropriate that we 
remember her life before this body of Congress and this Nation today.
  Marjorie was appointed Jefferson County Commissioner in 1981, and was 
elected to serve for two additional terms. An ardent supporter of 
preserving Colorado's open spaces, Marjorie worked tirelessly to 
preserve some of Colorado's most beautiful landscapes and vistas. 
Marjorie became the second woman elected to the Jefferson County Board 
of County Commissioners, and will be remembered as a great defender of 
the citizens in her community. In addition to her elected office, 
Marjorie also contributed to her community as a member of the Jefferson 
County Historical Commission and the Jefferson County Historical 
Society. Marjorie was an avid outdoorswoman, enjoying horseback riding, 
tennis, and skiing. She is survived by a daughter, Elizabeth Graham, a 
son, Lawrence Clement, five grandchildren, and a great-granddaughter.
  Mr. Speaker, it is an honor to rise before this body of Congress and 
this Nation to pay tribute to the life of Marjorie Clement. Marjorie 
was a beloved woman who made a tremendous impact on her community 
through her many selfless years in public service. The Jefferson County 
community and the State of Colorado will truly miss her, and my 
thoughts go out to Marjorie's loved ones during this difficult time of 
bereavement.
