                      TRIBUTE TO DANIEL K. MILLER

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. TOM LATHAM

                                of iowa

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, December 18, 2012

  Mr. LATHAM. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize the retirement of Iowa 
Public Television's executive director and general manager, Daniel 
Miller, and express my appreciation for his years of service to IPTV 
and the people of Iowa.
  A Des Moines native, Mr. Miller has been a part of the IPTV family 
for 37 years and has been the executive director and general manager 
since 2002. Under Dan's leadership, IPTV has expanded its statewide and 
nationwide relevance by tripling its broadcast offerings amidst 
balancing the transition to digital television and shrinking government 
funding. Iowa Public Television boasts more than two million viewers 
each month, and at times its central Iowa station has been the most-
watched public television station in the country.
  Dan's many accomplishments at IPTV have earned him deserved praise 
across the nation, including numerous broadcasting and broadcast 
journalism awards on the regional and national levels. Simply put, the 
IPTV we know and love today would not be the same without Mr. Miller's 
tireless efforts and passionate advocacy.
  Mr. Speaker, in an increasingly divisive media environment, Dan's 
career and legacy at IPTV is a testament to the importance of objective 
and factual journalism. He has never wavered in his commitment to the 
truth and journalistic integrity, and I am honored to call him my 
friend. I invite my colleagues in the House to join me in 
congratulating Mr. Miller on his illustrious career, and wish him a 
happy retirement.
