  Mr. McINNIS. Mr. Speaker, I would like to take this opportunity to 
pay tribute to Kent Lindsay and thank him for his dedication to 
Colorado as a two-term Montezuma County Commissioner. His dedication 
and tireless efforts have done much to ensure a promising future for 
his constituents. As Kent celebrates his retirement, let it be known 
that he leaves behind a terrific legacy of commitment to the people of 
Montezuma County and the State of Colorado.
  A lifelong resident of Montezuma County, Kent is the third generation 
owner of El Grande Cafe in Cortez. He is very active in the community, 
serving for fifteen years on the local fire department and is currently 
the Fire Chief. As a county commissioner, Kent was instrumental in 
rewriting the Land Use Plan and in creating the Stewardship Committee 
involving rangeland and grazing. He also worked closely in the 
development of the Dolores River Valley Plan, and plans to stay 
involved in the issues affecting Montezuma County.
  Mr. Speaker, I am honored to pay tribute to Commissioner Kent Lindsay 
before this body of Congress and this nation, and to congratulate him 
on an outstanding career of public service. His selfless dedication to 
his community and the people of Colorado as a Montezuma County 
Commissioner is truly remarkable. I wish him all the best in his future 
endeavors. Thanks for your service.
