                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, September 6, 2000

  Mr. McINNIS. Mr. Speaker, at this time I would like to extend my 
gratitude to the Honorable Roy Martinez. Mr. Martinez's commitment to 
improving his community through public service has made San Luis, 
Colorado a better place for everyone who lives there. After donating 26 
years to his community, Mr. Martinez is stepping down from public 
office.
  For over a quarter of a century, Mr. Martinez has generously given of 
his time and personal resources to the citizens of Costilla County. 
During the past four years he has served honorably as County 
Commissioner, where his diligent work helped to bring the county into 
this technological age. Before becoming Commissioner, he served as 
Clerk and Recorder for over two decades, again, with great distinction.
  Mr. Martinez has served his community admirably and his dedication 
and drive to succeed will be missed.
  Roy, you have made your community, state and nation proud. I commend 
you on your service to the citizens of Costilla County and I wish you 
the best in your future endeavors.

                          ____________________
