“as a senior Member of the Florida delegation, it is my privilege to present to my colleagues in the House and ask them to join me in welcoming Jeff Miller to the people's House. Mr. Speaker, prior to his election on October 16, the gentleman from Florida (Mr. Jeff Miller) was a member of the Florida legislature where he distinguished himself extremely well. He is a hard worker, and he represents a district that is vital to the national security interests of the United States, the First Congressional District of Florida. If the gentleman gets any more military establishments there, it is probably going to sink into the Gulf of Mexico. He has a tremendous responsibility representing that type of district here in the Congress, and especially in today's world when national security is in all of our minds. Mr. Speaker, one of the important things about the gentleman from Florida (Mr. Jeff Miller) is that he was my constituent for 14 years. He was born and grew up in the district that I have had the honor to represent for a long time; and that makes me doubly proud of the gentleman, and I am extremely happy to present to the gentleman his colleagues in the House of Representatives.”
