                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, September 6, 2000

  Mr. McINNIS. Mr. Speaker, I would like to take this moment to 
recognize the outstanding service of the Honorable Maclovio Martinez, 
of Costilla County, Colorado. Mr. Martinez is retiring after two 
decades of service as Costilla County Assessor. Before serving the 
great state of Colorado, Maclovio began his public service with the 
State Department in the Foreign Service, where he served for eight 
years in Paraguay.
  Mr. Martinez's achievements as a public servant are many in number. 
As Assessor, he helped to form the Costilla County Conservancy 
District, serving as its president. He also served as a member of the 
then Colorado Gov. Roy Romer's Cost Containment Committee, as well as 
Chairman of the San Luis Valley Health Care Foundation and president of 
the San Luis Museum.
  Maclovio has served his community admirably and has ensured that 
Costilla County and its surrounding communities are a better place to 
live. His outstanding commitment to public service will be missed and I 
wish him the best in his future endeavors.
  On behalf of the citizens of Costilla County and the United States 
Congress, Maclovio I thank you for your contributions.

                          ____________________
