mr. president, yelled is south dakotans were sad to learn that former governor walter dale miller passedaway yesterday. he served as governor from april of 1993 to january of 1995. but during his brief tenure he steered south dakota through a number of challenges and provided a sense of stability and calm during a period of upheaval. in the wake of governor michelson's tragic death, he secured funding for a memorial to the governor and the other south dakotans who died when their plane crashed as it was returning to our state. when inmates at the state's penitentiary rioted, governor miller succeeded in ending the standoff without loss of life. when the flood of 1993 occurred he worked tirelessly to help those who were affected. and when a supreme court decision shut down south dakota's video lottery resulting in a sudden revenue loss, governor miller ensured that south dakota's most important needs were met. in all, governor miller spent nearly 30 years serving south dakota in state government. first, in the state legislature, then as lieutenant governor, and finally as governor. and in
