     IN MEMORY OF KYLE AND AMY MILLER, PASSENGERS ON TWA FLIGHT 800

  (Mr. HOLDEN asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. HOLDEN. Mr. Speaker, it is with great sadness that I rise today 
to ask my colleagues to join me for a moment in memory of Kyle and Amy 
Miller of Tamaqua, PA.
  Kyle and Amy were among the passengers on the TWA Flight 800 which 
crashed on route from New York to Paris last Wednesday night. They were 
on their way to Paris to celebrate their fifth wedding anniversary. 
Their loss, and the loss of all of the passengers and crew on the 
plane, was a horrible tragedy.
  Kyle and Amy symbolized the American spirit and were outstanding 
members of their community. Kyle was a small businessman and owned part 
of his family hardware and plumbing businesses. Amy worked at the 
hardware store and was a member of the Tamaqua Area School Board. Her 
work in local education programs was outstanding and she was the top 
vote-getter in both the primary and general election.
  Both Amy and Kyle were well liked and well respected in the 
community. I would like to offer my condolences to their families. Amy 
and Kyle were very special young people and they will be missed 
greatly.
