                          HON. GARY G. MILLER

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                        Tuesday, March 14, 2000

  Mr. GARY MILLER of California. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay 
tribute to a fine public servant, Kristine Elliot-Thalman, who will be 
retiring this month from her distinguished career at the City of 
Anaheim, California. As part of her service to the City, especially for 
the last 13 years, she has headed intergovernmental affairs matters 
involving local, state, and federal initiatives that are so important 
to Anaheim's vital needs.
  Mr. Speaker, I am especially honored to bring Kris Thalman to the 
attention of the U.S. House of Representatives, because on the very 
same day as her retirement, she is having a birthday as well and 
congratulations are doubly in order.
  My colleagues in Congress, many of whom have had the pleasure to know 
and work with Kris through the years, wish her Godspeed in whatever 
endeavors she may choose in the future.

                          ____________________
