                               speech of

                              of minnesota

                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, December 10, 2014

  Ms. McCOLLUM. Mr. Speaker, I rise to pay tribute to the career of 
Congressman George Miller.
  I had the pleasure of serving on the Education and Workforce 
Committee with George. During his time in Congress, Congressman Miller 
has been an outspoken leader on issues related to health care, workers' 
rights, and quality education. His leadership, knowledge, and 
mentorship will be sorely missed in Congress.
  Congressman Miller's legacy spans many issues facing Americans 
including raising the minimum wage, improving conditions for workers, 
fighting for equal pay for women, protecting the environment and 
bettering our education system. His 40 years of tireless service have 
undoubtedly positively improved the lives of countless Americans.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in honoring the service 
of Congressman George Miller.
