“Mr. Speaker, as a member of Committee on Government Reform, I am pleased to join my colleague in consideration of H.R. 4755, a bill in fact to designate a facility of the United States Postal Service after Clarence Miller. Obviously the gentleman from Ohio has introduced this bill. It enjoys great support, from my understanding, from the entire Ohio delegation. Not having been a Member of Congress when Mr. Miller was in fact serving, I do know that by reputation he served from 1966 until January of 1993. I am also informed that the former Representative Miller served on the Committee on Agriculture, Committee on Public Works and Transportation, and the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure, on the 3 subcommittees of that group. He was well known as a budget watchdog because of his fierce dedication to fiscal responsibility. Former Representative Miller is now retired but he is also active in his Lancaster community. He is a member of the First United Methodist Church, the recipient of numerous awards and honors in recognition of his untiring efforts to serve his fellow Ohioans. Mr. Speaker, I urge the swift passage of this bill.”
