                         C.W. ``MAC'' McCLELLAN

   Mr. ABRAHAM. Mr. President, I rise today to pay my respects 
to a longtime dear friend, C.W. ``Mac'' McClellan. Mac passed away on 
Sunday, May 4th, at his home in Harbor Springs, MI, following a long 
and valiant fight with cancer.
  My wife Jane and I came to know Mac during his countless years of 
volunteer service to the Michigan Republican Party. While I have met 
many exceptional people during my time in politics, I have yet to 
encounter anyone more dedicated to the causes they believed in as was 
Mac, nor do I anticipate I will anytime soon.
  To his wife Ruth and son David, my deepest sympathies. Please know 
you and your loved ones are in my thoughts and prayers.
  Any one of a litany of titles could aptly describe Mac: Army Air 
Corps pilot, Air Force Reserves lieutenant colonel, General Motors 
executive, civic activist, father, and husband, to name just a few. For 
me, Mac will always be warmly remembered as my friend.
  Mac McClellan never asked any more of others than he was willing to 
give of himself. He was blessed with a tireless devotion and a 
boundless spirit, and those who knew Mac are indebted to him for 
leaving our lives richer than he entered them. He will be greatly 
missed, but not soon forgotten.
