        A SPECIAL TRIBUTE TO MILLIE COX FOR HER YEARS OF SERVICE

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. DAN BURTON

                               of indiana

                    in the house of representatives

                      Thursday, September 4, 2003

  Mr. BURTON of Indiana. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Millie Cox 
on her retirement from the Indiana Credit Union League, and to 
congratulate her for her many years of dedicated and tireless service.
  Over the years, Millie has displayed an indomitable spirit in her 
work and efforts on behalf of Indiana's credit unions. She has taken 
time to educate and encourage credit union leaders about the 
legislative process and the importance of political participation. 
Clearly, Millie's passion for her work on behalf of Indiana's credit 
unions bespeaks her monumental efforts here in Washington D.C.
  Millie Cox's impressive career began in February 1977, when she 
joined the staff of the Indiana Credit Union League. She was promoted 
several times, ultimately rising to Vice President of Governmental 
Affairs in 1986. Millie and her staff have been responsible for 
analyzing regulations and legislation, as well as serving as liaison 
between credit unions, regulatory agencies, and other government 
entities.
  On a personal note, Millie is a long-time Hoosier, having grown up in 
the New Castle area with her two brothers and three sisters. She has 
one son, Curt, and was married for more than twenty years to her late 
husband Jim. Millie and I share a great interest in history and reading 
in addition to our Hoosier roots.
  Millie Cox's dedication to her career is evident in her own words as 
she states that ``I believe in credit unions, I love what I do and I 
can't imagine working in any other industry.'' Millie, I congratulate 
you and wish you all the best. Capitol Hill won't be the same without 
you.
