                        Wednesday, July 21, 2004

  Mr. McINNIS. Mr. Speaker, it is my pleasure to rise today to honor 
the accomplishments of Mike Anselmo of Pueblo, Colorado who recently 
celebrated fifty years of dedicated service to the United States Postal 
Service. Throughout his years of service, Mike has become a friendly 
and familiar face in many of Pueblo's neighborhoods, and I would like 
to join my colleagues in recognizing Mike's years of service before 
this body of Congress and this nation.
  Fifty years ago, Mike began carrying first class mail stamped with 
three cents of postage. Faithfully throughout his career, he has 
battled the natural elements of weather and the physical elements of 
prostate cancer and knee problems, but neither prevented him from 
delivering over ten million pieces of mail.
  During his career, he has driven over a million miles on the job, 
putting him among the rare company at the postal service called the 
``Million-Mile Club.'' In addition to his commitment to the United 
States Postal Service, he is a family man who enjoys spending time in 
the outdoors doing yard work and riding his bike.
  Mr. Speaker, Mike Anselmo has shown tremendous loyalty to his Pueblo, 
Colorado community. His fellow citizens have come to rely on him to 
deliver their mail and to provide a familiar face. I thank Mike for his 
hard work and wish him all the best in his future endeavors.
