  Mr. McINNIS. Mr. Speaker, it is with great pride that I rise today to 
pay tribute to Bobby Julich, a truly talented athlete from Glenwood 
Springs, Colorado. Bobby's efforts in the Athens Olympic Games are an 
inspiration to us all, and I would like to join my colleagues here 
today in recognizing his tremendous achievements before this body of 
Congress and this Nation.
  Bobby Julich was first motivated to become a competitive cyclist at 
the age of twelve while watching Aspen's Alexi Grewal win a gold medal 
in the 1984 Olympic time trials event in Los Angeles. As a student at 
Glenwood Springs high school, he was an active competitor and was 
sponsored by many local shops. Now 32, Bobby recently won the bronze 
medal in the men's road time trial at the Athens Games. His achievement 
has been recognized by his high-school on its wall of pride.
  Mr. Speaker, it is an honor to recognize Bobby Julich for his 
achievement. Representing his country in the Olympics is a great 
privilege and he did so nobly. I am proud to recognize him today before 
this body of Congress and this Nation. Congratulations on your 
performance in the Olympic games, Bobby, and I wish you well in all of 
your future endeavors.
