                       Wednesday, April 28, 2004

  Mr. McINNIS. Mr. Speaker, I would like to take this opportunity and 
pay tribute to John Huebinger, Jr. of Glenwood Springs, Colorado, for 
his great efforts to better his community. John is an extraordinary 
businessman and community leader, and as one of the founders of Vail, 
has shaped the landscape of communities around Vail, Aspen and Snowmass 
through his many construction projects.
  John, a native of Marion, Texas, came to Colorado in 1962 to work on 
the Vail Village Inn, and later moved to Snowmass in 1964 when he 
formed the Aspen Construction Company. His extraordinary achievements 
in the construction industry early in his career gained him entrance 
into the Young Presidents organization, an exclusive group of 
international business leaders. When the construction industry began to 
falter, John quickly adjusted and began Harbinger Real Estate, which he 
ran until his retirement in 1998.
   In addition to helping construct his community, John participates in 
numerous civic organizations. He has been a member of the Aspen Elks 
and Eagles Lodges, served as president of the Aspen Fire Protection 
District, and volunteered with the Boy Scouts.
  Mr. Speaker, I am honored to pay tribute to the service and 
achievements of John Huebinger, Jr. before this body of Congress and 
this nation. His vision and determination have shaped several 
communities in the Vail, Aspen, and Snowmass areas, and I sincerely 
thank him for his service. I wish him the best in his future endeavors.
