                           HON. HENRY CUELLAR

                                of texas

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, March 8, 2006

  Mr. CUELLAR. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Milton B. Lee for his 
impeccable record of service to the citizens of San Antonio, and whose 
achievements were recognized by the San Antonio-based Lighthouse Group 
on January 25, 2006.
  Mr. Lee, a lifelong Texan, is a native of Austin, where he 
accomplished a Bachelor of Science degree in Mechanical Engineering in 
1971. After graduating, he quickly launched his career at General 
Electric, where he oversaw nuclear steam supply systems, nuclear fuel, 
gas turbine generators and steam turbine generators.
  He was one of the formative members of the Texas Public Utilities 
Commission, and having testified as an expert witness in certification 
and rate proceedings, he has left his stamp on many of the regulations 
that govern my home state's electric utilities.
  Over the years, Mr. Lee also served as a member on a variety of 
boards and commissions, including his service in a leadership capacity 
within the Texas Public Power and American Public Power Associations, 
university boards, including the Huston-Tillotson University Board of 
Trustees and the University of Texas at Austin Engineering Foundation 
Advisory Board, and professional organizations, including the National 
Society of Black Engineers.
  Mr. Speaker, Milton Lee has risen to lead CPS Energy, formerly City 
Public Service and now the largest municipally owned energy company 
providing both natural gas and electric service. Serving as General 
Manager and CEO, Mr. Lee also serves as a much needed positive role 
model and an inspiration to the youth within our shared communities. 
Given his remarkable resume and his impressive accomplishments, today I 
rise to honor Milton B. Lee for his ongoing commitment to service, to 
scientific research within and outside of his particular field of 
expertise, and to excellence in everything that he executes.
