  Mr. McINNIS. Mr. Speaker, I would like to take this opportunity to 
pay tribute to James Sullivan and thank him for his exceptional 
contributions to his community and the State of Colorado as a Douglas 
County Commissioner. A county commissioner since 1989, James is a 
dedicated public servant and leader in his community and I am honored 
to recognize his accomplishments before this body of Congress and this 
Nation today.
  James is the president of the Douglas County Water Resource 
Authority, where he dedicates his time to preserving underground water 
supplies and building support for the use of renewable water resources. 
He is a past president of Colorado Counties, Inc., an active 
participant in the National Association of Counties, and has served as 
a commissioner

on the national panel for the Joint Center for Sustainable Communities. 
James is also the first commissioner in 22 years to be placed on the 
Douglas County Fair Board. Some of the additional commissions and 
boards he served on include: the Board of Trustees for the Southeast 
Business Partnership, Colorado Governor Bill Owens' Commission on 
Saving Open Spaces, and the E-470 Public Highway Authority Board.
  In 2002, Governor Owens appointed James to the Colorado Civil Rights 
Commission, where he will serve a 4-year term representing local 
government. In addition, the Governor also appointed him to the Great 
Outdoors Colorado Trust Fund Board of Directors, which uses State 
lottery proceeds to buy and improve recreation areas, parks, and 
wildlife habitats in Colorado.
  Mr. Speaker, it is clear that James Sullivan has ceaselessly 
dedicated his time and efforts to serving his country and the people of 
Colorado as a Douglas County Commissioner. I am honored to bring his 
hard work and commitment to the attention of this body of Congress and 
this Nation today. Thank you for all your dedication and service, 
James. I wish you all the best in your future endeavors.
