                      IN MEMORY OF MEREDITH MILLER

  (Mr. GIBBONS asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. GIBBONS. Mr. Speaker, we pause here today for just a moment to 
remember Meredith Miller.
  Meredith Miller was murdered a year ago today as she was returning 
from studying to her residence in Virginia.
  Meredith Miller was one of those wonderful kinds of persons. She was 
a very bright student, a wonderful giver. She gave of herself to many 
wonderful causes, and she was preparing to lead a really spectacular 
life.
  Her murder was unusually brutal. It was a terrible loss of a 
wonderful life and a terrible loss to her mother and father and her 
brother and her kin and family and friends who reside in my 
congressional district.
  We all loved Meredith Miller. She was the kind of person we want our 
daughters to be. She was the kind of American we want our fellow 
citizens to be.
  Justice was done. The murderers were captured. The murderers were 
tried and sentenced, and they are now serving time in jail. But nothing 
can return to Meredith Miller her life or to her family their wonderful 
daughter and sister.
  All murder is useless, but Meredith Miller's murder was useless, 
tragic, and a horrible crime.
  Let us pause and remember Meredith Miller.
