                        Wednesday, May 12, 2004

  Mr. ROGERS of Michigan. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the 
efforts of a constituent in Michigan's Eighth Congressional District, 
Ms. Peg Bostwick. Ms. Bostwick has served the State of Michigan for the 
past 15 years as the 404 Federal Program Coordinator for the Michigan 
Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ). During her time at the 
Michigan DEQ, Ms. Bostwick has been a tireless advocate for wetlands 
protection and funding for wetlands research.
  On Thursday, May 20, 2004, Ms. Bostwick will be honored for her work 
by the Environmental Law Institute as a part of the 2004 Wetlands 
Awards. As the recipient of the award for State, Tribal and Local 
Development, Ms. Bostwick is being honored in Washington, DC for the 
outstanding work she has done on behalf of all of us in Michigan.
  Peg Bostwick's work on behalf of the State of Michigan has been 
extensive. She is a knowledgeable leader on wetlands issues, working to 
ensure that science and government policy work together to promote a 
healthy environment. Mr. Speaker, Peg Bostwick has committed herself to 
bettering Michigan's environment. I can think of no greater compliment 
to her than to say that Michigan's environment is better off because of 
her efforts.
