                     A TRIBUTE TO DR. JERRY MILLER

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. TOM LATHAM

                                of iowa

                    in the house of representatives

                         Thursday, May 26, 2011

  Mr. LATHAM. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the career and 
retirement of the Interim Vice President for Extension and Outreach at 
Iowa State University, Dr. Jerry Miller.
  Dr. Miller is a professor of agronomy and is well known in the soil 
and conservation community for his numerous contributions to enhancing 
water quality and soil conservation. Dr. Miller has given 35 years of 
his life to Iowa agriculture and in the process has given Iowa greater 
clarity in a subject we hold very dear.
  In addition to his illustrious career at ISU, Dr. Miller also served 
Iowa in an entirely different way through his efforts in the Iowa Army 
National Guard. Dr. Miller retired from service several years ago as 
the Commanding General of the 34th Infantry Division.
  Mr. Speaker, it is my honor to represent Dr. Jerry Miller in the 
United States Congress. Dr. Miller is a true testament to Iowa's 
reputation of service and commitment. I know my colleagues in the House 
will join me in congratulating Dr. Miller and I wish him the best of 
luck in the future.
