                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. GEORGE MILLER

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, April 22, 2010

  Mr. GEORGE MILLER of California. Madam Speaker, I rose on February 
3rd to pay tribute to Arthur H. Rosenfeld for his lifetime of service 
and leadership on energy conservation, on behalf of myself and the 
following members: Representatives Henry Waxman, Lois Capps, Grace 
Napolitano, Laura Richardson, Lucille Roybal-Allard, Jackie Speier, 
Jane Harman, Doris Matsui, Brad Sherman, Howard Berman, John Garamendi, 
Michael M. Honda, Bob Filner, and Zoe Lofgren. I would like to submit 
for the Record a letter sent by members of the California congressional 
delegation to Mr. Rosenfeld on the occasion of his retirement as a 
member of the California Energy Commission.

       Dear Art:
       Please accept our good wishes on your retirement as a 
     member of the California Energy Commission.
       For over half a century, you have led the energy efficiency 
     movement in California and nationally. As a result of your 
     inspiration and innovative leadership, offices and homes 
     throughout California, and the appliances our residents 
     purchase, are more energy efficient than ever before.
       Californians today use no more energy than they did three 
     decades ago. New energy efficiency mandates you have 
     sponsored are expected to deliver energy dividends of $8 
     billion or more over the next decade.
       As you have often said, ``the cheapest energy is what you 
     don't use.'' California's economy is more productive and 
     efficient, our air is cleaner, and our energy industries and 
     research centers are more dynamic because of your work.
       You have changed the thinking of industry and government, 
     and changed the habits of Californians from all walks of life 
     in terms of how we think about and use energy on a daily 
     basis.
       These are exceptional achievements, and they are a lasting 
     legacy of an exemplary career in public service. Your work 
     has dramatically improved our public policy--not only in 
     California but across the nation.
       Accordingly, as members of the California Congressional 
     delegation, we want to take public note of your work, to 
     thank you for your unstinting public service, and to express 
     our appreciation for all you have done to benefit our State, 
     to promote America's energy security, and to shine a light 
     that will help lead the way to a clean energy future for our 
     country in the 21st century.
