  Ms. McCARTHY of Missouri. Mr. Speaker, it is my honor today to rise 
and salute a recipient of Vice President Gore's Hammer Award, Mr. 
Marshall V. Miller, Esquire, of Miller and Company in Missouri's 5th 
Congressional District for his outstanding contributions to improving 
the trade compliance process on international trade issues. The reforms 
which Mr. Miller has achieved in the U.S. Custom Services trade 
compliance process has resulted in the Department's improvement in 
service to American businesses and their customers.
  Miller and Company is receiving special recognition as a team that 
has significantly contributed in supporting the President's National 
Performance Review Principles. This emphasis on client services 
directly reflects the performance principles. Through the reinventing 
government process, Marshall Miller has participated as a member of the 
Partnership and Compliance Assessment Team which has identified, 
prioritized, and created action plans for removing barriers, enhancing 
maximum compliance, and reducing costs to the trade industry and the 
customs service.
  Receiving the Hammer Award is a special recognition and honor which 
Miller and Company and its primary principal, Marshall Miller, have 
earned. Those that are fortunate enough to know Mr. Miller are aware of 
his energy and quest for efficiency. Mr. Speaker, I applaud my 
constituent, Marshall V. Miller, on receiving the Vice President's 1998 
Hammer Award.
