                       Thursday, October 7, 2004

  Mr. McINNIS. Mr. Speaker, it is with great pride that I rise today to 
pay tribute to journalist Dennis Herzog from Grand Junction, Colorado. 
For a quarter century Dennis has served the people of Grand Junction 
and Colorado with distinction, and I would like to join my colleagues 
here today in recognizing his tremendous achievements before this body 
of Congress and this Nation.
  Dennis Herzog earned his journalism degree from the University of 
Missouri School of Journalism. He soon took a job with a paper in 
Tennessee, then in New York before moving to Grand Junction. For 25 
years, he has been with the Grand Junction Daily Sentinel, 20 of which 
he has served as the managing editor. In partnership with the paper's 
editor and publisher, he has helped the Daily Sentinel earn the 
nationally prestigious John Hancock Award for Business and Financial 
Reporting. In addition, Daniel is a member of the board of directors of 
the Colorado Press Association and the Cinema at the Avalon.
  Mr. Speaker, it is a privilege to recognize Dennis Herzog for his 
exceptional service to the people of Grand Junction and Colorado. For 
25 years, his dedication to his community and journalistic integrity 
has made the Grand Junction Sentinel a thriving and influential news 
source. It is with great pleasure that I recognize him today before 
this body of Congress and this Nation. Thanks for your service, Daniel, 
and I wish you well in your future endeavors.
