“I rise today to ask for the House to approve the bill to deem the Lancaster, Ohio, post office for former congressman Clarence J. Miller, to recognize his years of public service to the citizens of Lancaster, Ohio. Clarence Miller served the people of Lancaster and central Ohio for over five decades and for thousands of Ohioans he exemplified the proper role of a public servant. Clarence was a true community leader who was committed to improving the lives of those he represented, whether it was in the Lancaster City Hall or the United States Congress. His vision and civic spirit have made lasting contributions to our area, and he truly deserves this honor. Mr. Miller was born in Lancaster on November 1, 1917. After attending Lancaster public schools and receiving technical training in Scranton, Pennsylvania, Mr. Miller was employed as a utility company engineer. He served as a member of the Lancaster City Council from 1957 to 1963 and as mayor of Lancaster from 1964 to 1966. In 1967, he was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives where he served until his retirement in 1993.”
