                        Monday, October 30, 2000

  Mr. GARY MILLER of California. Mr. Speaker, I commend the Inland 
Empire Utilities Agency of California, as they celebrate 50 years of 
excellence in water resources and quality management.
  The Inland Empire Utilities Agency plays an integral part in 
distributing water, providing wastewater collection, and other utility 
services for nearly 700,000 people that reside within a 242-square-mile 
area of Western San Bernardino County. They have eight agency 
facilities within their jurisdiction that are designed to meet the 
specific needs of their regional community. Additionally, they have a 
five member Board of Directors that represents each division.
  One of the critical aspects to the success of the Inland Empire 
Utilities Agency has been their ability to keep the lines of 
communication open. They have done an outstanding job working closely 
with local, State, and Federal legislators to ensure that California's 
water needs are being met.
  Inland Empire Utilities Agency, a quality company that has taken a 
pro-active role in addressing water issues, is poised to meet the 
demands of the future. I ask that this 106th congress join me in 
congratulating the Inland Empire Utilities Agency as they celebrate 50 
years of excellence in water resources and quality management.
