                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, March 6, 2001

  Mr. KUCINICH. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the memory of Peter 
T. Miller, the chief photographer for WKYC Channel 3 in Cleveland, Ohio 
and winner of eight Emmy awards.
  A graduate of Kent State University in the 1950's, Mr. Miller began 
his 42-year career as a television cameraman in Cleveland with WJW 
Channel 8 in 1959. During his time there, he received Emmy awards from 
the Cleveland regional chapter of the National Academy of Television 
Arts and Sciences for documentaries about the Cleveland Orchestra 
Chorus and the Hattie Larlham Foundation and for an entertainment 
feature about the Singing Angels. In 1985, Mr. Miller began his work at 
Channel 3, where in 1986 he received honors for Individual Achievement 
in News Videography for a Halloween series. In 1998 he was part of the 
WKYC team that took first place honors for its report, ``On Schindler's 
List'', from the Association for Women in Communications.
  Fellow photographers marveled at Mr. Miller's work ethic, sense of 
teamwork, understanding of a story and artful eye. Traveling tirelessly 
in order to document the day's happenings, he was often seen locally 
attending football games, visiting nursing homes, observing school 
board meetings, or covering urban riots. He even took his camera 
abroad, showing Greater Clevelanders sites from around the world from 
music concerts to the Persian Gulf War.
  My fellow colleagues, please join me today in honoring the memory of 
Peter T. Miller, a gifted television photographer whose dedication and 
passion for his life's work provided Clevelanders with valuable images 
of important events from around the world.
