                    in the house of representatives

                     Wednesday, September 06, 2000

  Mr. McINNIS. Mr. Speaker, I would like to take this moment to honor 
the distinguished service of the Honorable Johnnette Phillips of Eagle 
County, Colorado. Johnnette is retiring as Eagle County Commissioner 
after serving admirably for nearly a decade. Her outstanding commitment 
is unparalleled and her contributions immeasurable.
  For Johnnette, serving her community comes naturally. Before serving 
as commissioner, she used her natural leadership ability as Eagle 
County Clerk and Recorder, serving for nearly 15 years. Beyond her 
efforts as Clerk and Recorder and Commissioner, Johnnette has helped 
advance the cause of a number of worthy organizations, serving as 
President and Second Vice President of Colorado Counties, Inc., 
Northwest Colorado Council of Governments Executive Board and President 
of both the American Legion Auxiliary and the Colorado State 
Association of County Clerks and Recorders.
  Johnnette's drive and determination has not only improved her local 
community, but also earned her national recognition. Ms. Phillips 
received the well-deserved honor of being named among Who's Who in U.S. 
Executives in 1995 and Who's Who in Women Executives in 1996. What' 
more, her service has won her the admiration of an entire community.
  On behalf of the State of Colorado and the United States Congress, 
Johnnette, I thank you for your service and wish you the very best in 
your future endeavors. Your immense contributions to Eagle County will 
not be soon forgotten.
