                         Monday, August 2, 1999

  Mr. LUCAS of Oklahoma. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize one 
man's many accomplishments and contributions to the University of 
Oklahoma and the State of Oklahoma. Mr. Robert Hume Brady was born and 
raised in Seiling, Oklahoma. He was awarded the OU Regents' Alumni 
Award in 1998 for his exceptional dedication and service to the 
University of Oklahoma and served as an honorary chair of the 100th 
anniversary celebration of the OU Association's founding. A 1960 
graduate with a bachelor's degree in business administration, he joined 
Travelers Property Casualty Corporation in 1963 and today serves as 
regional vice president. In many of the cities where his career has 
taken him, he has made the OU presence stronger. He formed the OU Club 
of New Orleans in 1969, reactivated the OU Club of Kansas City in 1985, 
and organized the OU Club of Charlotte in 1991. He served as president 
of the OU Club of Charlotte for seven years and currently is a member 
of the Board of Directors. He has worked to raise funds for scholarship 
support to potential OU students and to bring new energy to the OU Club 
through recruiting and nominating younger members to leadership 
positions. He continues a long OU family tradition established by his 
great-uncle C. Ross Hume, a member of the first graduating class in 
1898 and one of the founders of the OU Alumni Association in 1899. His 
grandfather, Dr. R.R. Hume, a member of the second graduating class, 
was instrumental in the selection of OU's colors of crimson and cream.
  Robert Brady will retire July 31, 1999, after 37 years with 
Travelers, and he and his wife Betty plan to return to Oklahoma City. 
Bob started with Travelers in 1963 after graduating from the University 
of Oklahoma. Further tours of duty included New Orleans, Home Office, 
Oklahoma City, Kansas City and Charlotte. While in Charlotte, Bob 
helped make Travelers North Carolina's leading Independent Agency 
carrier.
  Respected among his peers for his elegance and character, Bob is a 
colleague, mentor, friend, husband, father and grandfather.
