  Mr. McINNIS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to Bob 
Silbernagel from Grand Junction, Colorado. Bob is the Editorial Page 
Editor for the Grand Junction Daily Sentinel, and has served the paper, 
city and state with distinction. I know Bob well, and he is a man of 
the utmost integrity. I would like to join my colleagues here today in 
recognizing his dedication and commitment to his community and the 
field of journalism before this body of Congress and this Nation.
  Bob studied journalism at the University of Wisconsin, and went on to 
work for a number of weekly newspapers before moving on to the Glenwood 
Post Independent. In 1980, he joined the staff at the Grand Junction 
Daily Sentinel. Bob has been closely involved in writing and 
publication of the Colorado Riverfront Commission's People, Parks and 
Trails: A guide and history for the Colorado Riverfront Trail in Mesa 
County.
  Mr. Speaker, it is a privilege to recognize Bob Silbernagel for his 
exceptional service to the people of Grand Junction and Colorado. For 
many years, his dedication to his community and journalistic integrity 
has made the Grand Junction Sentinel a thriving and influential news 
source. It is with great pleasure that I recognize him today before 
this body of Congress and this Nation. Thanks for your service, Bob, 
and I wish you all the best in your future endeavors.
