          HONORING THE DISTINGUISHED CAREER OF JOHN ED MILLER

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. BART GORDON

                              of tennessee

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, March 23, 2000

  Mr. GORDON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the outstanding 
career of John Ed Miller, who is retiring from BellSouth on March 31 
after working more than 30 years with the company. John Ed has not only 
had a distinguished career with BellSouth, but he has also been an 
outstanding civic leader in the Middle Tennessee area.
  John Ed began his long telephone career with BellSouth soon after his 
graduation from Vanderbilt University in 1966. He progressed through a 
number of assignments in the Nashville and Birmingham offices before 
assuming his present position as BellSouth's corporate and external 
affairs vice president for Tennessee.
  John Ed has also taken an active role in his Middle Tennessee 
community. He serves and has served on numerous civic boards and 
organizations, demonstrating his concern and love for Middle Tennessee. 
His tireless dedication to these organizations has truly made Middle 
Tennessee a better place to live.
  His leadership and vision at BellSouth will be sorely missed. I 
congratulate John Ed Miller on his outstanding career and wish him well 
in his retirement.
