                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. JOHN T. SALAZAR

                              of colorado

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, June 6, 2006

  Mr. SALAZAR. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and congratulate 
the Pueblo Government Agencies Federal Credit Union on the occasion of 
its 70th anniversary. This credit union has served the residents of 
Pueblo well. PGAFCU's mission is to promote thrift among its members by 
giving them an opportunity to save money, thus accumulating and 
investing the savings of the members and to make loans to its members 
which promise to be of benefit to the borrower.
  The Pueblo Government Agencies Federal Credit Union was founded on 
June 9, 1936 by ten Pueblo postal employees who brought together a 
group of federal agency employees to form a credit union for the 
purpose of improving the financial lives of its members. Today, the 
Credit Union has more than 4,200 members serving current and retired 
federal agency employees, their family members and other special groups 
in Pueblo and Southeastern Colorado.
  The friendly, hometown service combined with a wide variety of 
personalized, high-quality financial services has truly enriched the 
lives of many residents in my Congressional District. I am proud to 
represent an organization that so aptly embodies the values of a small 
town financial institution while offering much-needed financial 
services to the Pueblo community.
  Again, Mr. Speaker, I congratulate the Pueblo Government Agencies 
Federal Credit Union on the occasion of their 70th anniversary and I 
commend them for the service they provide to the many federal 
government employees and their families in Southeastern Colorado.

                          ____________________
