                        Friday, October 8, 2004

  Mr. McINNIS. Mr. Speaker, it is with great pride that I rise today to 
pay tribute to Rebecca Frank from Grand Junction, Colorado. Rebecca has 
dedicated her career to representing and informing the people of her 
county and the State of Colorado in her capacity with the Grand 
Junction Sentinel and the Colorado Division of Wildlife. I would like 
to join my colleagues here today in recognizing her tremendous service 
and achievements before this body of Congress and this Nation.
  Rebecca Frank served as the News Editor for the Grand Junction 
Sentinel where she has always performed her job with excellence and 
integrity, keeping the people of Grand Junction well informed of 
community, state, and world events. In 1985, she decided to expand her 
interests and left the paper to join the Colorado Division of Wildlife 
Commission in 1985. Currently she represents the Northwest District 
Colorado where she served as Chairwoman in 1987 and 1988. In addition 
to her duties, at the Division of Wildlife Commission, Rebecca has 
given several hours of her time to Grand Junction's business community. 
She has served as a member of the Mesa County Economic Development 
Council, the Grand Junction Planning Commission and both the Grand 
Junction and Mesa County Riverfront Commissions. She also served on the 
board the Grand Junction United Way and currently volunteers with 
Catholic Charities.
  Mr. Speaker, it is a privilege to recognize Rebecca Frank for her 
exceptional service to the people of Grand Junction and Colorado. She 
has dedicated her life to bettering her community, and it is with great 
pleasure that I recognize her today before this body of Congress and 
this Nation. Thanks for your service, Rebecca, and I wish you all the 
best in your future endeavors.
