         ACKNOWLEDGING JASON CRAWFORTH'S CONTRIBUTION TO IDAHO

                                 ______
                                 

                       HON. C.L. ``BUTCH'' OTTER

                                of idaho

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, April 5, 2005

  Mr. OTTER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to draw the attention of the 
House to an individual from my district whose initiative and vision 
might well be paying dividends in Idaho from years to come.
  Through hard work and passion, Jason Crawforth gathered support from 
many medium and large technical institutions throughout my great state 
in support of a promotional effort in the Wall Street Journal on behalf 
of Idaho's outstanding business environment.
  Companies such as Jason's own Treetop Tech, Micron Technology, 
Hewlett-Packard, Dell, and Extended Systems are just a few of America's 
top technology businesses that have chosen to locate large operations 
in Idaho over the years.
  Anyone who spends even a short time in Idaho soon comes to realize 
the enormous potential of my State and its people, and the great 
benefits of doing business there.
  From the low cost of living and absence of urban congestion to the 
overall quality of life, Idaho has a lot to offer the technology 
industry. Jason Crawforth is one of Idaho's greatest advocates, and 
leaders like him are among our most valuable assets. I hope the House 
will join me in acknowledging Jason's contribution.
