                       Wednesday, April 21, 2004

  Mr. McINNIS. Mr. Speaker, I would like to take this opportunity and 
pay tribute to Terry Phillips and thank him for his dedication to 
Colorado and his community as a two-term State Senator. The level of 
energy and integrity that he has brought to the General Assembly 
throughout his years of public service are truly outstanding. As Terry 
celebrates his retirement, let it be known that he leaves behind a 
great legacy of commitment to the people of Colorado and the Colorado 
General Assembly.
   A Boulder County Assessor from 1989 to 1997, Terry was elected from 
District 17 to serve the community of Boulder in the State Senate in 
1996, and subsequently in 2000. As a dedicated public servant, Terry 
also is a member of the Colorado Student Loan Program Advisory 
Committee, Executive Committee for the Council of State Governments 
West, Water Policy Committee, and the State/Local Forum and Advisory 
Commission on Intergovernmental Relations. For this current term he 
serves as a member of the Appropriations, Business Affairs & Labor, 
Finance, and Joint Computer Management Committees. Some of the honors 
he has received for his significant accomplishments while serving in 
the General Assembly include the Colorado Assessors' Association 
Legislator of the Year award in 2002, University of Colorado Health 
Sciences Center Alumni Legislative Award in 2000, and the University of 
Colorado Boulder Alumni Legislative Award in 1999.
   Mr. Speaker, it is quite clear that Terry Phillips is a person that 
has displayed a terrific level of dedication and commitment to his life 
long pursuit of public service. Terry's selfless dedication to his 
Boulder community and the State of Colorado is truly outstanding, and 
it is my privilege to recognize him today before this body of Congress 
and this nation. I wish him all the best in his future endeavors.
