                TRIBUTE TO HARLAN MILLER, LONG BEACH, CA

                                 ______


                         HON. NORMAN Y. MINETA

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, September 6, 1995
  Mr. MINETA. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to a fellow 
Californian and friend, Harlan Miller of Long Beach, who is nearing 
completion of his 1-year term as president of the Independent Insurance 
Agents of America [IIAA]. Mr. Miller is president of Hamman-Miller-
Beauchamp-Deeble, Inc., an independent insurance agency located in Long 
Beach.
  The closure of his term as the elected leader of the Nation's largest 
insurance trade association next month in Las Vegas will be the 
crowning accomplishment of Mr. Miller's many years of distinguished 
service to IIAA, his profession, and most importantly, to his 300,000 
colleagues across the country.
  Harlan has enjoyed a long and distinguished career as an independent 
insurance agent. His service to both his national and State 
associations--the Insurance Brokers & Agents of the West--is equally 
long and impressive. Harlan has held several elective offices in the 
Californian association including secretary-treasurer, vice president, 
and president. He began his commitment to the national organization by 
serving as the State association's representative to IIAA's national 
board of directors.
  Harlan was elected to IIAA's executive committee in Los Angeles in 
1989. In the time since then he has served with unwavering leadership, 
distinction, and commitment to his thousands of professional 
counterparts.
  Harlan's selfless attitude is also evident in the depth of his 
involvement in Long Beach area community activities. He is a past 
president of the Kiwanis Club, Community Volunteer Office, the 
International City Club, and the Long Beach Boy Scout Council. 
Additionally, he was an active member of the California State 
University's President's Associates and has worked with numerous other 
Long Beach civic groups.
  Currently, he sits on the boards of the Memorial Medical Center, 
Memorial Heart. Institute, and the Advisory Council Junior League of 
Long Beach and serves on the Planned Gifts Sponsor Committee for the 
Long Beach Symphony Orchestra.

  I congratulate my fellow Californian and concerned citizen for a job 
extremely well done. I am confident in his selfess service to IIAA, his 
colleagues, and his fellow citizens of Long Beach will continue 
uninterrupted well into the future.
