                      Thursday, November 20, 2003

  Mr. GARY G. MILLER of California. Mr. Speaker, it is with great pride 
and personal interest that I rise to commend Mrs. Scarlet Treu of 
Hacienda Heights, California.
  Since my election to Congress in 1999, Scarlet has served as my 
Senior Advisory for Asian-American issues in my congressional district. 
Her knowledge and insight into this important constituency has served 
me well. Unfortunately, after five years of service, she has decided to 
retire from congressional politics. Not only has she been an excellent 
employee, but she has also become a close personal friend.
  Scarlet's life history is one of inspiration and admiration. Born in 
Taipei, Taiwan her family was forced to flee from China due to the 
repressive Communist Regime, Scarlet was able to complete her education 
at the prestigious Ming Chuang College and earned a degree in business 
administration. Upon graduation, she went on to serve as the original 
and founding member of the marketing department for Chase Manhattan 
Bank's Taipei branch. Immigrating to the United States in 1976, she 
went to work as an immigration section supervisor and then as a civil 
litigation specialist for two respected law firms in southern 
California.
  Scarlet met her loving husband, Rolf Treu, in 1977 and they set out 
to establish two law offices before he was appointed to a State 
judgeship in 1995. Rolf and Scarlet have two wonderful children, 
Jacqueline and Eric.
  Aside from her many children-related activities, Scarlet has focused 
on the needs of her community as well. For many years she has been 
supportive of and actively engaged in the Hacienda Heights Improvement 
Association Board, LA County Supervisor Don Knabe's Art Award, the 
Colima-Hacienda Women's Club, the Hacienda Heights Chinese-American 
Parents Advisory Board, and various Republican Party political 
appointments. She also formed my Business Advisory Board which has 
provided me with a forum to work with community leaders on issues 
important to their industries.
  In 2001, Scarlet co-chaired a successful $221 million bond campaign 
for Mt. San Antonio College that will benefit future generations of 
students.
  Mr. Speaker, I want to thank Scarlet for her years of service, hard 
work and personal sacrifices on my behalf.
