  Mr. McINNIS. Mr. Speaker, it is with great pride that I rise today to 
pay tribute to Paul Jones, a terrific community leader from Grand 
Junction, Colorado. Paul moved to Colorado and became this small town's 
only obstetrician/gynecologist. In addition to his medical 
contributions, Paul was also an active community member, and I would 
like to join my colleagues here today in recognizing his tremendous 
achievements before this body of Congress.
  Paul moved to Grand Junction in 1972 to serve as the city's only 
obstetrician and gynecologist. During his three decades practicing 
medicine, he assisted with about 10,000 births. Still active in the 
community, Paul works with the Community Hospital and St. Mary's 
Hospital. He also co-chairs the Riverfront Commission, sits on the 
board of the Western Colorado Botanical Gardens, and still sees 
patients at Women's Health care of Western Colorado. This year the 
Lion's Club in Grand Junction named Paul as Lion of the Year for his 
commitment to the community.
  Mr. Speaker, it is a privilege to honor Paul Jones for his service to 
the citizens of Grand Junction. As a doctor, and community leader Paul 
has always been there, and it is with great pleasure to recognize him 
today before this body of Congress and this nation. Thank you Paul, I 
wish you well in all of your future endeavors.
