                      Wednesday, February 9, 2022

  Mr. PERLMUTTER. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize Jamie 
Connell of the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) for her service to our 
country and wish her well on her retirement.
  For more than 37 years, Jamie has served the constituents of the 
State of Colorado and other states with her public service. With most 
of the BLM public lands concentrated in Colorado's Western Slope, Jamie 
oversaw more than 8.3 million acres of public land and 27 million acres 
of federal mineral estate in Colorado, ranging from alpine tundra, 
colorful canyons and sagebrush steppe to mountains rising more than 
14,000 feet above sea level. During her time in Colorado, Montana, 
North Dakota, South Dakota, Idaho, Wyoming, Oregon, Washington, and the 
District of Columbia, she tirelessly worked to improve and many areas 
of natural resource management. In her role, she has worked 
constructively with officials in the legislative and judicial branches 
of federal and state government as well as with industry and non-profit 
partners.
  Jamie's hard work and dedication has been tremendous. I wish Jamie 
all the best in retirement and send gratitude for her service to our 
community, the State of Colorado, and the United States of America.
