                              DAVID HENDEL

 Mr. LIEBERMAN. Mr. President, I rise today to offer these most 
public words of congratulation to a great Connecticut citizen who is 
retiring after a long and distinguished career with the Metropolitan 
Life Insurance Co. For nearly 40 years, David Hendel of West Hartford, 
CT has been a fixture at MetLife and he will be sorely missed in those 
hallways.
  As a past president of the MetLife Veterans Club of Hartford/
Providence, 

[[Page S16435]]

a member of the president's club for 6 years, and 10 years on the 
leadership conference, David has redefined loyalty and dedication in 
the workplace. If ever there was a man who could be counted on to put 
forth his best effort day in and day out, David Hendel is that man.
  David has not merely made his mark at MetLife, he has also worked 
hard to better his community and this is what makes him such a special 
individual. A veteran of the U.S. Army, David has devoted his spare 
time to such organizations as the West Hartford Zoning Board of 
Appeals, the West Hartford Democratic Town Committee, and Temple Beth 
El of West Hartford. Truly, David has taught a generation of West 
Hartford residents the meaning and value of community service.
  A true role model, David has shown us all that we must work both as 
individuals and as parts of a greater community to leave a positive 
mark on the world around us. As Members of Congress, we are charged 
with improving and strengthening the fabric of this Nation. I hope this 
body recognizes that, by following the lead of citizens like David 
Hendel, we can all advance toward that lofty goal.
