  Mr. McINNIS. Mr. Speaker, I would like to take this opportunity and 
pay tribute to Carl Miller and thank him for his dedication to Colorado 
as a four-term representative in the State House of Representatives. 
Carl has brought an outstanding level of energy and integrity to the 
State House throughout his years of public service, and as he 
celebrates his retirement, let it be known that he leaves behind a 
great legacy of commitment to the people of Colorado and the Colorado 
General Assembly.

   A third generation Leadville native, Carl has always held firm to 
his beliefs of serving his community and country. Graduating from 
Leadville High School in 1956, he joined the army and served in Germany 
from 1958 to 1960. In 1977 Carl filled his first elective office as 
Lake County Commissioner, and served as past chairman and member of 
Region 13 Council of Governments. In 1996, Carl was elected to serve 
District 56 in the Colorado House of Representatives, and presently 
serves on the Agriculture, Livestock, & Natural Resources Committee; 
Information & Technology Committee; and the Capital Development 
Committee.
   An active member of his community Carl has devoted his time to 
numerous civic organizations. A miner for twenty-seven years, Carl 
served as president and executive director of the National Mining Hall 
of Fame and Museum from 1989 to 1999. He has served on the Lake County 
School Finance and Scholarship Committees, Lake County Advisory group, 
Lake County Historic Preservation Committee, and the 3rd Congressional 
Military Academy Advisory Selection Committee. Carl and his wife Mary 
Ann of forty-three years have two daughters and four grandchildren.
   Mr. Speaker, it is clear that State Representative Carl Miller has 
ceaselessly dedicated his time and efforts to serving his district and 
the people of Colorado in the Colorado General Assembly. I am honored 
to bring his hard work and commitment to the attention of this body of 
Congress and this nation today. Thank you for all your service Carl and 
I wish you all the best in your future endeavors.
