                   IN HONOR OF DR. MARY EMILY MILLER

                         HON. MICHAEL N. CASTLE

                              of delaware

                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, February 5, 2003

  Mr. CASTLE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to Dr. Mary 
Emily Miller of The Miller Farm, this year's recipient of the Special 
Family Business Longevity Award from the Delaware Small Business 
Development Center Network.
  As you know, small businesses such as The Miller Farm, have always 
been extremely important to the economic vitality of each State and to 
our national economy. Small businesses account for the majority of all 
new jobs being created daily, and provide opportunities for millions of 
people to earn a living and provide financial stability for their 
families. Through Dr. Miller's guidance, The Miller Farm has 
distinguished itself as a leader amongst small businesses in Delaware 
by offering a valuable service and maintaining a high level of customer 
satisfaction.
  Throughout my years in public service I have consistently counted 
Delaware's small businesses to be amongst the very best in the Country, 
and recognition of The Miller Farm by the Delaware SBDC Network, in my 
mind, confirms this belief.
  Dr. Miller's accomplishments and innovative leadership in the small 
business community have placed The Miller Farm in a position to rise 
above and meet the challenges of the future; I commend her on her 
receipt of this award and wish her continued success.
