                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. SCOTT R. TIPTON

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, May 25, 2011

  Mr. TIPTON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize University of 
Colorado Regent Paul Schauer for his lifelong commitment to the state 
of Colorado and its people. Mr. Schauer has devoted much of his career 
to serving the citizens of the Centennial state and is one of its 
proudest residents.
  Mr. Schauer was born and raised in DeKalb, Illinois, but it didn't 
take long for him to make Colorado his permanent home. He attended 
Doane College, in Nebraska, where he received a bachelor of arts in 
economics, and finished his post graduate studies at the University of 
Colorado at Denver.
  After graduation, Mr. Schauer became an immensely successful 
businessman in Centennial and committed himself to public service. In 
1979 he was elected to the state legislature and held his seat for 
nearly 20 years. He was popular among his colleagues at the state 
Capitol and he focused his efforts on such crucial issues as education, 
the environment and the state economy.
  Following his stint in the Colorado General Assembly, Mr. Schauer 
became a University of Colorado Regent. He established himself quickly 
and became the board's chairman for a brief period. His guidance has 
contributed to the University's tremendous success.
  Mr. Speaker, it is an honor to stand and recognize one of Colorado's 
foremost businessman and public figures. He has spent a lifetime 
fighting for the issues facing Colorado and its higher education 
system.
