  PAYING TRIBUTE TO NEWLY ELECTED CASTLE ROCK, COLORADO COUNCILMEMBERS

                                 ______
                                 

                        HON. THOMAS G. TANCREDO

                              of colorado

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, May 18, 2004

  Mr. TANCREDO. Mr. Speaker, it is not an easy undertaking to answer 
the call to public service and run for local City Councils. Often the 
job of City Councilmember is thankless; it is with the highest regard 
for the services our elected officials do for our communities that I 
wish to pay tribute to the newly elected Castle Rock, Colorado City 
Council.
  In April, returning Councilmembers Ray Waterman and Jay Richards and 
new City Councilmembers Ed Rusch (District 4) and Randy Reed (District 
2) were sworn in by Judge Louis Gresh. The new council's first order of 
business was the unanimous election of City Councilmember Ray Waterman 
as Mayor.
  Mr. Speaker, the newly elected council should be dedicated to 
improving their community. It is not only their devotion, but also 
their passion for contributing to the betterment of the Colorado 
community that I wish to recognize before this body. It is my distinct 
pleasure to honor the new and returning councilmembers here today, and 
wish them all the best in their future endeavors.
