                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, June 16, 2004

  Mr. McINNIS. Mr. Speaker, I would like to take this opportunity to 
congratulate Dr. Daniel McClure of Bayfield, Colorado, on being awarded 
the 2004 Lloyd Gaskill Award. The award was named after the legendary 
football coach at Limon High School, and is annually given to an 
individual who volunteers to support Colorado high school athletics in 
other ways than coaching. This is the second year in a row that a 
resident of Bayfield, Colorado has been a recipient of the award, and 
is a well-deserved testament to Daniel's work with the youth in his 
community.
  For over twenty years Daniel has selflessly dedicated his efforts to 
Colorado student athletes, helping them to compete and reach their 
highest potential. Once a week, Daniel visits both Bayfield and Ignacio 
High Schools to evaluate and treat student athletes at no cost to the 
schools or district. In addition to treating the student athletes, 
Daniel also attends each of the schools home and away games.
  Dr. McClure has also contributed his time and skill beyond the high 
school level. He has had the opportunity to work with athletes at the 
United States Training Center, and at Olympic trial events, the Outdoor 
National Championships, the World Diving Championships and the FINA Cup 
International. He has also served as the sports chiropractor for the 
United States Olympic diving team in Barcelona, Spain in 1992, and 
again in Atlanta, Georgia in 1996.
  Mr. Speaker, I am honored to pay tribute to the service and 
achievements of Dr. Daniel McClure before this body of Congress and 
this nation. His dedication to high school student athletes in his 
community and athletes representing our great country at the highest 
level is truly commendable. I sincerely thank Daniel for his service.
