  Mr. McINNIS. Mr. Speaker, I am honored to stand before this Congress 
and this nation to pay tribute to an outstanding public servant from my 
district, Steve Sherwood. Steve is the Deputy Forest Supervisor in the 
White River National Forest who works hard to protect and maintain our 
beloved natural areas. Steve's

service throughout the country has helped keep our national forests 
open to everyone, providing a variety of users with access to 
recreation.
  Steve came to the White River National Forest in 2000, moving from 
Washington D.C. to be part of the wilderness that he loves. He spends 
most of his time overseeing the White River's wilderness, recreation, 
and heritage programs. As an outdoorsman, Steve has a better 
understanding of the needs of our forests; he is often fishing and 
biking throughout the lands he protects.
  When Steve is not at work protecting our public lands, he is at home 
with his wife Carolyn and his two children William and Jessica. Steve 
works hard in the hope that his children will have forests and 
wilderness areas to enjoy many years after he has gone.
  Mr. Speaker, I am proud to recognize Steve for his dedication, and it 
gives me great joy to inform this body of Congress and this nation of 
his hard work and devotion at the U.S. Forest Service. Thank you, 
Steve, for your hard work and dedication. Your commitment and 
involvement in our national forests will not be forgotten.
