                IN HONOR OF THE RETIREMENT OF JIM MILLER

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. PATRICK J. TIBERI

                                of ohio

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, December 6, 2016

  Mr. TIBERI. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Jim Miller on the 
occasion of his retirement as Federal Liaison for the Ohio Public 
Employees Retirement System.
   For well over fifteen years, Jim diligently worked as an advocate 
for Ohio's public pension system. By utilizing his unique knowledge and 
experience, Jim proved himself to be a remarkable asset to both Ohio's 
public employees and elected officials.
   It has been said that Jim has never met a stranger. His quick wit, 
comfort with people and passion for his work played a large role in his 
tremendous success. Whether he was speaking with the most senior member 
of Congress or a junior staff member, Jim was able to relate and 
connect with them. This candor allowed parties to come together in an 
effort to garner meaningful results for beneficiaries and taxpayers 
alike.
   As Jim transitions to his next stage in life, his knowledge and 
guidance will truly be missed, yet few are more deserving of a peaceful 
and relaxing retirement. On behalf of Ohio's 12th Congressional 
District, I would like to thank Jim Miller for his many years of 
service and wish him a happy retirement.
