  Mr. McINNIS. Mr. Speaker, I would like to take this opportunity and 
pay tribute to Tambor Williams, and thank her for her tireless efforts 
serving the people of Colorado as a four-term member of the Colorado 
House of Representatives. Tambor will always be remembered as a 
dedicated public servant and leader of the community. As she celebrates 
her retirement, let it be known that she leaves behind a terrific 
legacy of dedication and commitment to the Colorado General Assembly 
and for the people of Colorado.
   A practicing lawyer and professional mediator, Tambor has used these 
skills to become an efficient and effective leader in the General 
Assembly through her four terms of office for District 50, which serves 
Weld County. She serves as the Speaker Pro Tem of the House, chairs the 
House Business Affairs & Labor

Committee and the Legislative Audit Committee, and is a member of the 
House Appropriations Committee. Her excellent record in the State House 
has earned her the Legal Reform Summit State Legislative Award from the 
United States Chamber of Commerce, as well as numerous awards and 
recognition from Colorado businesses and organizations.
   Tambor's efforts to better her community include extensive 
involvement with civic organizations. She is an active member of the 
City of Greeley Mayor's Advisory Board, a member of the Commission of 
Judicial Performance and member of the Weld County Local Emergency 
Planning Committee. Tambor's involvement also has included serving as 
board chair of Union Colony Civic Center, board member for Parent Child 
Learning Center, board member of Right to Read, and serves as post 
advisor for the Explorer Scouts.
   Mr. Speaker, it is quite clear that State Representative Tambor 
Williams is a person who possesses dedication and commitment to her 
life long pursuit of public service. It is not only her incredible 
devotion, but also her passion for contributing towards the betterment 
of the Weld County community and the State of Colorado that I wish to 
bring before this body of Congress and this nation. It is my distinct 
pleasure to honor Tambor here today, and wish her and her husband Jim 
all the best in their future endeavors.
