             CONGRATULATING KAREN MILLER ON HER RETIREMENT

  (Mr. NEWHOUSE asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. NEWHOUSE. Madam Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Karen 
Miller from Richland, Washington, on her retirement and to honor her 20 
years of service to the ratepayers of the Benton Public Utility 
District in Washington State's Fourth Congressional District.
  Karen has been a tireless advocate for the Tri-Cities community and 
for the reliable, affordable power generated by central Washington's 
hydroelectric dams. She has been at the forefront of the community's 
efforts to ``Save Our Dams,'' spearheading rallies and events like 
RiverFest, to celebrate the countless benefits of the Columbia and the 
Snake River dams.
  While I know the team at Benton PUD will sorely miss Karen's 
enthusiasm and friendship, I am confident her service to the community 
will continue.
  I wish Karen and her husband, Ken, the best as they spend more time 
enjoying golfing, traveling Europe, and enjoying time with their 
beloved grandchildren.
  Congratulations, Karen.
