                      Wednesday, September 8, 2004

  Mr. McINNIS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to Doug Aden, a 
dedicated banker from my hometown of Grand Junction, Colorado. After 
thirty-four years of service to the Grand Junction community as a 
regional vice president for the western slope division of U.S. Bank, 
Doug will be retiring from a longtime career of aiding customers. I am 
honored to stand before this body of Congress and this nation today to 
recognize his accomplishments.
  In 1970, just one week after his college graduation. Doug began his 
banking career in Billings, Montana. He spent his entire life working 
with various companies that are part of U.S. Bancorp, a parent company 
to U.S. Bank. Doug worked for the Grand Junction branch since 1990. 
Throughout the course of his service, Doug saw rebirth and growth of 
the economy across the Western Slope. In addition to his many years at 
the bank, Doug has served on the Colorado Transportation Commission and 
the Mesa County Public Library District Board of Directors, and he 
actively works with his church's capital campaign.
  Mr. Speaker, Doug Aden is a tremendous member of the Grand Junction 
business community who has made customer service in his banking 
industry a priority. I am honored to rise before this body and 
recognize his many contributions to the State of Colorado. Good luck 
with your retirement, Doug, and I wish you all the best in your future 
endeavors.
