          THANKING JOHN R. MILLER FOR HIS SERVICE TO THE HOUSE

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. NANCY PELOSI

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, April 29, 2004

  Ms. PELOSI. Mr. Speaker, it is my privilege to join my colleagues in 
honoring a true public servant, John R. Miller, as he begins the 
retirement he so richly deserves. For the past 28 years, John has 
belonged to that small but essential group of dedicated, nonpartisan 
professionals who quietly ensure that the House of Representatives 
functions smoothly and serves the people of the United States.
  John has served as Assistant Counsel, Deputy Counsel, and, for the 
past eight years, as the Law Revision Counsel. The Law Revision Counsel 
supervises a staff of 12 attorneys who, along with several editors, 
administrative aides, and technical specialists, are charged with 
preparing and publishing the United States Code. The Code is a 
consolidation and codification by subject matter of the general and 
permanent laws of the United States. It is indispensable to 
legislators, lawyers, and anyone with an interest in the rule of law. 
Under the superb leadership of John Miller, the office has rightfully 
earned a reputation for excellence.
  John's lifetime of service to our country should be a source of pride 
to him and his family. On behalf of the House Democratic Caucus, it is 
my pleasure to commend and thank John for his great career in the House 
of Representatives and to wish him all the best in his retirement.
