                       Monday, September 16, 2019

  Mr. BROWN of Maryland. Madam Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me 
in recognizing Louis Miller of District Heights, MD on his retirement 
on September 30, 2019 after more than 31 years of service to the United 
States House of Representatives.
  During Lou's tenure of 31 years, he has worked for the House Catering 
Office, the Office of the Clerk and the Office of the Chief 
Administrative Officer (CAO). He is retiring as a Purchasing Agent for 
the Office of Acquisitions Management within the CAO.
  Lou began his House career in 1986 to 1990 as an employee of the 
House Catering Office. He left the Hill a couple years and returned in 
1992 as a Helper with the Department of Furnishings for the Office of 
the Clerk.

With the creation of the Office of the Chief Administrative Officer 
(CAO) in 1996 the Furnishings Department was moved from the Office of 
the Clerk to the CAO. Lou held various positions within the Furnishings 
Department, including Laborer, Inventory Control Clerk and Logistics 
Distribution Specialist.
  In 2009, Lou began working for the Accountable Equipment & Assets as 
an Acquisition Counselor. He remained in this position until his 
retirement. Lou's official title upon his retirement is a Purchasing 
Agent for Acquisitions Management which falls under the Office of the 
Chief Administrative Officer (CAO). As a Purchasing Agent for the 
Office of Acquisitions Management, Lou was responsible for the process 
required to efficiently purchase quality equipment, furniture, office 
supplies and related items for the House community at-large. In 
retirement, Lou has plans to do some more travelling. In addition, he 
hopes to do some volunteer work with his church. Lou also plans to 
relax and cheer for his beloved Dallas Cowboys on their road to future 
Super Bowl victories.
  On behalf of the entire House community, we extend congratulations to 
Lou in grateful recognition of and appreciation for his many years of 
dedicated service and outstanding contributions to the U.S. House of 
Representatives. We wish him many wonderful years in fulfilling his 
retirement dreams.
