                    in the house of representatives

                         Friday, July 26, 2002

  Mr. McINNIS. Mr. Speaker, I would like to take this opportunity to 
pay tribute to Bill Muldoon of Craig, Colorado for his selfless 
volunteer efforts to help the less fortunate of this world. For many 
years, he has dedicated his time and efforts to San Miguel de-Allende 
(Mexico) and greatly improved the living situation in that region, 
which is why he is deserving of our praise today.
  Bill Muldoon is an outstanding individual actively involved in his 
community. As a member of the Moffat County Rotary International 
Association, Bill's prominence is noticeable amongst the many 
organizations spanning the nation. As the organizer of one of the 
largest humanitarian efforts in Moffat City Rotary history, Bill was 
known to spearhead and personally drive 3,000 miles to organize and 
collect materials for the city of San Miguel, and other Rotarian 
projects.
  Bill supervised the progress and completion of the San Miguel de 
Allende project. He raised support and funding totaling 6,400 dollars, 
and captured the hearts and attention of his community by making the 
journey alone. His adventurous journey towards San Miguel, yielded 
numerous problems and complications. Bill experienced rockslides, deer, 
and geese, not to mention treacherous weather at parts, and other 
barriers and detours. Nevertheless, Bill overcame these obstacles and 
provided the city hospitals and clinics of San Miguel de Allende with 
the many needed supplies and modern technology. His thoughtful spirit 
lifted morale and provided hope to this area.
  Mr. Speaker, it is with much admiration I take this moment to honor 
Bill Muldoon for his charitable deeds. I would like to personally 
applaud his hard work and determination before this body of Congress 
and this nation for his efforts will serve to inspire many future 
generations. Thank you again for your hard work in every humanitarian 
endeavor.
