          INTRODUCTION OF JEFF MILLER, NEW MEMBER FROM FLORIDA

  (Mr. YOUNG of Florida asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. YOUNG of Florida. Mr. Speaker, as a senior Member of the Florida 
delegation, it is my privilege to present to my colleagues in the House 
and ask them to join me in welcoming Jeff Miller to the people's House.
  Mr. Speaker, prior to his election on October 16, the gentleman from 
Florida (Mr. Jeff Miller) was a member of the Florida legislature where 
he distinguished himself extremely well. He is a hard worker, and he 
represents a district that is vital to the national security interests 
of the United States, the First Congressional District of Florida. If 
the gentleman gets any more military establishments there, it is 
probably going to sink into the Gulf of Mexico. He has a tremendous 
responsibility representing that type of district here in the Congress, 
and especially in today's world when national security is in all of our 
minds.
  Mr. Speaker, one of the important things about the gentleman from 
Florida (Mr. Jeff Miller) is that he was my constituent for 14 years. 
He was born and grew up in the district that I have had the honor to 
represent for a long time; and that makes me doubly proud of the 
gentleman, and I am extremely happy to present to the gentleman his 
colleagues in the House of Representatives.
