HONORING TIM MILLER AND MEMBERS OF THE TEXAS EQUUSEARCH MOUNTED SEARCH 
                           AND RECOVERY TEAM

  (Mr. LAMPSON asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. LAMPSON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Tim Miller and the 
members of the Texas EquuSearch Mounted Search and Recovery Team.
  The first official meeting of this organization was held in August of 
2000; and since then, Texas EquuSearch has been on nearly 100 searches 
in 2 short years. They have an admirable record of working 
constructively with our Nation's local law enforcement and the Federal 
Bureau of Investigation; and right now, Tim and Texas EquuSearch are on 
still another search near their headquarters in Dickinson, Texas.
  Texas EquuSearch stands for a great deal. Tim Miller founded the 
search team in loving memory of his 16-year-old daughter, Laura Miller, 
who was abducted and murdered in 1984. The success rate of Texas 
EquuSearch in finding our missing and returning many of them home alive 
to their loved ones is truly impressive and a living tribute to the 
spirit of Laura Miller. Her spirit is alive today in the heart of the 
Texas EquuSearch members and supporters.
  Texas EquuSearch Mounted Search and Recovery Team searches for our 
Nation's missing and abducted children and adults.
  Mr. Speaker, I rise today to applaud and to urge on Texas EquuSearch 
to continue forward in their mission, assuring that ``the lost are not 
alone.''
