                CELEBRATING MIAMI'S COMMUNITY NEWSPAPERS

  (Ms. SHALALA asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Ms. SHALALA. Madam Speaker, I rise today during Small Business Week 
to celebrate one of the longest-thriving small businesses in Florida's 
27th Congressional District.
  In publication for 61 years, Miami's Community Newspapers is a 
family-run business founded by Ronald Miller in 1958. Today, brothers 
Grant and Michael Miller have grown the business to include 14 editions 
covering Miami-Dade County.
  Miami's Community Newspapers covers the local issues that are the 
fabric of our neighborhoods.
  Recognizing the accomplishments of high school students and 
centennial birthdays, Miami's Community Newspapers is hyper local; 
however, they do not shy away from discussing important issues like 
transportation and education.
  The Miller brothers host breakfast socials and a luncheon series that 
has featured everyone from the county transportation director to David 
Beckham.
  Unknown to most is that the Millers have, for years, given jobs to 
numerous people attempting to reenter society after incarceration.
  With a distribution of 65,000, their newspapers can be found in every 
diner and lobby in Miami-Dade. Today, we honor Grant and Michael Miller 
and the 30 employees of Miami's Community Newspapers as a great small 
business.
