  Mr. McINNIS. Mr. Speaker, it is my privilege to pay tribute to Matt 
Glasgow and thank him for his work as Public Affairs Director for the 
Grand Mesa, Uncompahgre, and Gunnison National Forest. His years of 
commitment and dedication as a public servant are certainly commendable 
and worthy of recognition before this body of Congress and this nation 
today. I, along with my fellow Americans am grateful for all that he 
has accomplished during his years of service.
  Matt has dutifully served this nation with twenty years of military 
service in the Army. He carried out three tours in Vietnam, and was 
awarded numerous accolades including the Vietnam Cross of Gallantry; 
the Army Commendation Medal; and the Bronze Star for his courageous 
efforts.
  Matt served the Department of the Army as a Master Sergeant in the 
public affairs arena before transferring to the Grand Mesa, Uncompahgre 
and Gunnison National Forest Public Affairs Director in 1987. As the 
current Public Affairs Director for Grand Mesa, Uncompahgre, and 
Gunnison National Forest, he serves as the primary contact on 
constituent issues. He responds quickly in an effort to provide 
assistance, works diligently to foster and maintain positive working 
relationships to improve services, and he is an effective and 
responsive communicator with the people he serves.
  Mr. Speaker, it is clear that Matt Glasgow has been an invaluable 
resource to the organization. It is my honor to recognize his service 
and dedication before this body of Congress and this nation. I am 
grateful for the opportunity to work with dedicated public servants 
like Matt. On behalf of the citizens that have benefited from the hard 
work and commitment he has given to the U.S. Forest Service and the 
constituents it serves, I extend my appreciation for his years of 
dedicated service.
