                          RABBI MARK S. MILLER

  (Mr. SHERMAN asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. SHERMAN. Mr. Speaker, today was a first. We have had many 
legislative assistants working in the House and the Senate who have 
dreamed of addressing this body, but I believe that this is the first 
time that a legislative assistant has addressed this body, not as a 
Member, but as a guest chaplain.
  I am proud to have introduced to this body my rabbi in my formative 
years and my family's rabbi, Mark S. Miller, who returns to this 
Capitol many years after serving as a legislative assistant for Senator 
Mondale.
  When the rabbi came to Orange County, my father was the first in our 
family to meet him; and he came back to the family and said, ``I have 
met a scholar.'' He was right. After so many sermons that I heard, so 
many talks that I had with Rabbi Miller growing up, I knew him as a 
scholar. Much of the Nation knows him as a scholar from his lectures on 
business ethics and bioethics and his writings on biblical topics.
  I know that my friends at Temple Bat Yahm, my mother, my father who 
is I am sure watching this event from on high, and his wife Wendy and 
their five children all join me in this joy and this honor in having 
heard Rabbi Miller give the invocation today.
