                    in the house of representatives

                          Monday, May 2, 2011

  Mr. TIPTON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Neal Stanley of 
western Colorado. Mr. Stanley is the director of the Great Western Oil 
and Gas Company, and will receive ``Wildcatter of the Year'' for his 
work in the field of natural resources.
  There are few people who possess the level of experience and 
knowledge that Mr. Stanley provides both his company and the state of 
Colorado. He has spent over 35 years working in the oil and gas 
industry, serving on several public and private boards. Most notably, 
he was president of the Independent Petroleum Association of Mountain 
States from 1999 to 2001 and Senior Vice President-Western Region for 
Forest Oil Corporation.
  Mr. Stanley will join a long list of distinguished recipients of the 
``Wildcatter of the Year'' award. His devotion to the oil and gas 
industry is proven by his exemplary career, and the expertise he has 
provided through decades of work. There is little doubt that he has 
contributed to the success and prominence of the industry and all the 
companies he worked for.
  Mr. Speaker, it is an honor to recognize Neal Stanley today. He has 
given years of service to a number of companies and the state of 
Colorado. He will be appropriately honored with the ``Wildcatter of the 
Year'' award and will continue to lead our country's charge into its 
wealth of natural resources.
