  Mr. McINNIS. Mr. Speaker, it is a privilege to rise today and pay 
tribute to Mac Myers and thank him for his outstanding commitment to 
serving the people of Colorado as District Attorney for the 9th 
Judicial District. His years of service have done much to enhance the 
safety of the community and the prestige of the District Attorney's 
Office. As Mac 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.
  Mac graduated from the University of Colorado with a bachelor's 
degree in English, and received his law degree from the University of 
Denver. He worked as a deputy district attorney in Colorado Springs and 
Breckenridge before being hired to serve the people of Pitkin, 
Garfield, and Rio Blanco counties as a deputy district attorney in the 
9th Judicial District in 1986. In 1996, Mac was elected district 
attorney for the 9th Judicial District, and was subsequently re-elected 
in 2000. During his tenure as district attorney, he has worked to 
enhance the communication and relationship between his office and the 
local police departments. He has also raised awareness and increased 
prosecutions for sexual assault and domestic violence cases, as well as 
promoting drug abuse prevention programs.
  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 as the District Attorney for the 9th Judicial 
District. I am honored to bring his hard work and achievements to the 
attention of this body of Congress and this nation today. Thank you for 
all your service Mac, and I wish you all the best in your future 
endeavors.
