  Mr. McINNIS. Mr. Speaker, I would like to take this opportunity to 
pay tribute to Zelma La Bar and thank her for her contributions to the 
Pueblo Horizons Federal Credit Union and the community of Pueblo, 
Colorado. Zelma will always be remembered as a dedicated leader and an 
innovative CEO. As she announces her retirement, I would like to bring 
forth her accomplishments before this body of Congress today.
  Zelma has served as chairperson of the Pueblo Area Chapter of Credit 
Unions since assuming that position in March 1997. She has also served 
on a number of Colorado Credit Union League Committees from 1991-2002, 
which includes the Legislative Sub-Committee for Regulatory Issues and 
the Environmental Scan Sub-Task Force. Zelma is a member of the Credit 
Union Executives Society and serves as the Pueblo Horizons Federal 
Credit Union representative to the Greater Pueblo Chamber of Commerce, 
the Latino Chamber of Commerce and PEDCO.
  Mr. Speaker, it is a great honor to recognize Zelma La Bar and the 
groundbreaking leadership that she has brought to the Pueblo Horizons 
Federal Credit Union and the City of Pueblo. Her devotion helped enable 
many families to invest their money and helped to make their dreams 
come true. I would like to applaud her for her years of dedication and 
hard work. Her time and dedication have proved an invaluable addition 
to the company. I wish Zelma the best of luck in her future endeavors--
I hope she will enjoy her well-deserved retirement!
