                       Thursday, January 24, 2002

  Mr. BERRY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor one of Arkansas's 
finest citizens, Albert H. Miller. I am proud to recognize Al in the 
Congress for his invaluable contributions and service to his 
profession, his family, his state and this nation.
  For more than four decades, Mr. Miller served in many capacities to 
further the engineering profession. He was founder and President of 
both the Miller-Newell Engineers and the Miller-Newell Abstract 
Company. During his forty-one years as a member of the National Society 
of Professional Engineers, Mr. Miller held positions on nearly all of 
the Society's standing committees and task forces. In 1982, the 
Arkansas chapter named him Engineer of the Year, and in 2000 he was 
named a fellow member of the Society. However, his greatest 
contributions were made as President of NSPE, where he was known for 
his vision and tireless work. Mr. Miller created the ``NSPE GIVES YOU 
THE EDGE'' campaign to promote the value of membership in the Society. 
His dedication expanded and advanced the work of his profession.
  Mr. Miller's efforts extended into the community as a member and past 
president of the Newport Rotary International and Paul Harris Fellow, a 
member and past president of the Newport Area Chamber of Commerce, and 
member of the Jackson County Industrial Development Commission. He was 
a member of a number of professional organizations and held offices in 
several of them, including the Arkansas State Board of Registration for 
Professional Engineers & Surveyors, the Arkansas Society of Registered 
Land Surveyors, the

American Society of Agricultural Engineers, the American Society of 
Civil Engineers, the National Council of Examiners for Engineering and 
Surveying, the U.S. Council for International Engineering Practice, and 
the Engineering Advisory Council of the University of Arkansas.
  Albert Miller was a faithful and dedicated husband to his wife 
Lynette, the loving father to Alex and Allison, and the proud 
grandfather to three grandchildren. Throughout his life, he was 
dedicated to serving his fellow citizens as a leader in both his 
profession and his community, and he deserves our respect and gratitude 
for his priceless contributions. He was my friend and I forever will be 
honored by that friendship.
  On behalf of the Congress, I extend sympathies to Al's family, and 
gratitude for all he did to make the world a better place.
