  Mr. McINNIS. Mr. Speaker, I would like to take this opportunity to 
pay tribute to Russell Hindmarsh for the contributions he has made to 
his Dolores community and the State of Colorado. Recently, Russell was 
chosen as Cattleman of the Year for his lifelong commitment to the 
cattle industry. It is with great satisfaction that I congratulate 
Russell for this well-deserved honor, and thank him for his 
contributions to his community and state.
  A veteran of the Korean War, Russell began working in the livestock 
industry at a young age, and learned to ranch sheep and cattle from his 
father. As his career in the industry progressed, he has focused his 
attention to raising cattle. Russell's involvement in the ranching 
community of Colorado includes having served on the advisory boards for 
the Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management, serving on the 
Southwest Livestock Association board, and serving on the Montezuma 
Woolgrowers board. He also is a former member of the Colorado 
Woolgrowers, the National Woolgrowers, the Colorado Cattlemen, and the 
National Cattlemen.
  Mr. Speaker, it is clear that Russell Hindmarsh has a legacy of 
strong commitment to the cattle industry in the Dolores community and 
the State of Colorado. Russell's efforts to keep this great tradition 
of ranching vibrant is worthy of recognition before this body of 
Congress and this nation today. It is my privilege to extend to Russell 
my sincere congratulations on being named Cattleman of the Year for 
2004, and wish him all the best in his future endeavors.
