  Mr. SENSENBRENNER. Mr. Speaker, John R. Miller is retiring on May 3, 
2004, after 32 years of service working for the Federal government. He 
began his career in the Legislative Branch working on the staff of 
Representative William McCulloch of Ohio. Later, John became an 
attorney-advisor in the Office of General Counsel at General Accounting 
Office and worked there for 3 years. In 1975, when the Office of the 
Law Revision Counsel was established as an independent office in the 
House of Representatives, John was one of the first assistant counsels 
appointed. In 1994, John was promoted to Deputy Law Revision Counsel, 
and in 1996, he was appointed by Speaker Newt Gingrich as the Law 
Revision Counsel.
  Throughout his 28 years with the Office of the Law Revision Counsel, 
John has played an integral role in the development and evolution of 
the Office. During his tenure as Law Revision Counsel, he has initiated 
and overseen a significant modernization and upgrading of the 
procedures and technology used to prepare the Code, thereby improving 
efficiency and accuracy.
  Mr. Speaker, John has set high standards for the work of the Office 
of the Law Revision Counsel. His unwavering commitment to excellence 
has been instrumental in making the Code as accurate and reliable as 
possible. He will be missed.
