                        HONORING LARRY H. MILLER

  (Mr. CHAFFETZ asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. CHAFFETZ. Mr. Speaker, this week the people of Utah mourned the 
passing of a beloved community leader, entrepreneur and philanthropist. 
Larry H. Miller's life is an inspiration to all of us who care about 
families, our communities and our country.
  Larry Miller was an extraordinary businessman, building more than 80 
companies, including his auto business from one dealership in 1979 to 
39 today. His business holdings expanded with the 1985 purchase of the 
Utah Jazz and later the Salt Lake Bees and the creation of the Miller 
Motorsports Park.
  Perhaps more important than his business success was his charitable 
work, much of it unseen and anonymous. Through his Larry H. Miller 
Charities, Miller provided for thousands, funded campus sports 
facilities, and established a training center for entrepreneurs, as 
well as a facility for public safety training.
  Larry H. Miller had a profound impact upon the State of Utah, and his 
works will continue to be a positive force in countless lives. I honor 
his accomplishments, his example, his philanthropy, and wish nothing 
but the best for his family, and hope they understand the deep 
gratitude Utah shares for a truly honorable man.
