CONGRATULATING LORRAINE C. MILLER AND DANIEL P. BEARD ON THEIR ELECTION 
                        AS OFFICERS OF THE HOUSE

  The SPEAKER. The Chair wishes to congratulate Lorraine C. Miller on 
this historic occasion as she assumes the duties of Clerk of the House, 
the first time an African American has held a position of leadership in 
terms of being an officer of the House.
  The resolutions are necessary for the Office of Clerk, and so there 
is much fanfare associated with that. The House is equally as pleased 
to have the services of Daniel P. Beard as our Chief Administrative 
Officer of the House. Congratulations to Dan Beard.
