  Mr. TIPTON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Bob Henley for his 
outstanding service as a founding member of the Chimney Rock 
Interpretive Association in the San Juan National Forest.
  In 1996, Mr. Henley began working as a tour guide for Chimney Rock, 
which helped to foster his appreciation of the archeological area, and 
urged him to seek that tours of the ruins be independently operated in 
order to ensure the area receive proper attention and upkeep. In 2003, 
Mr. Henley's work helped to make Chimney Rock an independent 
organization.
  Because of his efforts and the efforts of many volunteers, the 
Chimney Rock Interpretive Association hosts nearly 11,000 visitors in 
total each year, allowing it to be independently funded and operated. 
In addition, the Association is able to give elementary schools free 
tours, educating between 300 and 500 students about the history of the 
Chimney Rock Archeological site every year.
  Mr. Speaker, it is my honor to recognize Bob Henley today. His 
service has provided many assets to the Chimney Rock Interpretive 
Association and the San Juan National Forest.
