  Mr. McINNIS. Mr. Speaker, it is a privilege to rise today and pay 
tribute to Frank Daniels and thank him for his outstanding commitment 
to serving the people of Colorado as District Attorney for the 21st 
Judicial District. As he celebrates his retirement, let it be known 
that he leaves behind a wonderful and strong legacy of dedication to 
the District Attorney's Office and the citizens of Colorado.
  Appointed by Governor Ray Romer in 1993, Frank was elected three 
times to serve the position of District Attorney. In 1982 he graduated 
from Colorado University Law School, and from 1983 to 1993 he served as 
Deputy District Attorney and then Chief Deputy District Attorney for 
the 1st Judicial District. During his tenure in the District Attorney's 
Office, he handled thousands of cases of all varieties, including the 
well-known Blagg murder trial. He has also implemented many programs 
through the District Attorney's Office, including the Intensive 
Juvenile Diversion Program, Adult Diversion Program, and the Consumer 
Crime Program. A dedicated member of the community, Frank served as 
President of Mesa County Peace Officers Association, Western Slope 
Center for the Children, and the Grand Junction Gem and Mineral Club.
  Mr. Speaker, it is clear that District Attorney Frank Daniels has 
ceaselessly dedicated his time and efforts to serving his district and 
the people of Colorado in the District Attorney's Office for the 21st 
Judicial District. I am honored to bring his hard work and commitment 
to the attention of this body of Congress and this nation today. Thank 
you for all your service Frank, and I wish you all the best in your 
future endeavors.
