  Mr. McINNIS. Mr. Speaker, I am honored to take this opportunity to 
recognize Dean Dowson of Lakewood Colorado, for his accomplishments and 
achievements towards the betterment of his community. Dean has 
contributed greatly to the city of Lakewood, Colorado and is well known 
as a pillar of the Lakewood business community.
  In May of 2002 Dean was awarded the ``Minuteman Award'' from the 
American International Automobile Dealers Association (AIADA), for 
outstanding political and legislative involvement. He has actively 
involved himself with Members of Congress, and has pioneered many 
efforts of the AIADA. Dean has exhibited an unparalleled commitment to 
his work and has become a pivotal part of the AIADA, aiding an 
organization that uplifts and reinforces the economy. He has truly 
excelled in many facets of his job, and continues to improve.
  Mr. Speaker, it is my pleasure to stand this evening and honor Dean

every minute of time you selflessly spent building a strong foundation 
in our community. Congratulations on your award and good luck in your
