                       TRIBUTE TO CAROL SALISBURY

  Mr. ALLARD. Mr. President, on this occasion I pay tribute to a dear 
friend and employee, Carol Salisbury. Carol joined my office in January 
of 1991, when I was first elected to Congress from the Fourth 
Congressional District. One of my original staffers, Carol has served 
my office and the people of Colorado for 14 years, and she has done so 
with grace and conviction. She will be leaving my office in January 
2005.
  Carol began her career working out of my Fort Collins congressional 
office, and later, the Senate offices in Greeley and Loveland. As area 
director, she managed the office and provided dedicated service on a 
variety of issues, including housing and healthcare. Carol was 
instrumental in establishing the Fall River Visitor Center at Rocky 
Mountain National Park, the acquisition of Cherokee Park by the Forest 
Service, and many other smaller objects that have greatly benefitted 
our public lands and will lead to greater enjoyment by the public. She 
was passionate about historic preservation and worked tirelessly on 
behalf of many worthwhile interests, including the historic Cumbres & 
Toltec Scenic Railroad in Southern California. Her presence on Team 
Allard will be missed and I know the Northern Colorado community will 
miss her as well. Carol was a hard working and earnest friend and 
employee.
  My wife, Joan, joins me in thanking her for dedication and loyalty. 
We both

wish her and her husband Jack the best in their future endeavors.
