  Mr. McINNIS. Mr. Speaker it is with personal privilege and honor that 
I enter this tribute in acknowledgment of Charles Gallagher, a friend, 
a philanthropist and humanitarian.
  On June 1, Mr. Gallagher was recognized by the Mizel Museum of 
Judaica as the recipient of the Community Cultural Enrichment Award. 
The award publicly notes Mr. Gallagher's commitment to education as 
well as his deep commitment to the State of Colorado, its people and 
its future.
  I would note, Mr. Speaker, that Mr. Gallagher's wife Diane is a 
critical element of her husbands success and that she shares the 
commitment to Colorado and dedication to education.
  Mr. Gallagher serves on the board of the Metropolitan Denver Area 
Chamber of Commerce, the Metro Denver Network Board of Governors, the 
University of Colorado at Denver Graduate School of Business 
Administration, the Metropolitan State College of Denver Foundation, 
the National Jewish Medical and Research Center, Denver Art Museum, 
Denver Area Council Boy Scouts of America, Colorado UpLIFT, The Denver 
Foundation, The Catholic Foundation for the Archdiocese of Denver, 
Irish Community Center, and Xavier University in Cincinnati. Mr. 
Gallagher is also a member of The Colorado Forum, Colorado Concern, and 
a Regent for Regis University. He and Diane have four married children 
and nine grandchildren.
   The people of Colorado have every right to be proud of Mr. Gallagher 
and his family. On behalf of the people of Colorado, I thank the 
Gallagher's for their involvement.
