  Mr. YOUNG of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and 
congratulate Richard ``Butch'' Miller, of Creston, Iowa for being 
inducted into the Iowa High School Officials Hall of Fame.
  Over his 27 year career as a sports official, Butch officiated in 
hundreds of football games, 10 years of football playoffs and one 
championship football contest. In basketball, he officiated sectional, 
district and substate game for 17 years, and many girls and boys 
regular season games. Mr. Miller also officiated softball games and 
numerous junior college contests.
  In addition to these many responsibilities, Butch Miller spent the 
early 1980s, working with the Harlem Globe Trotters as an official. He 
traveled to the Far East, South America, Australia and all 50 states. 
He worked at Madison Square Garden and all the big venues throughout 
the country.
  I am honored to represent Butch Miller and his family in the United 
States Congress. I know that all of my colleagues in the House of 
Representatives join me in congratulating him on this latest honor and 
wish him the best of luck in the future.
