                TRIBUTE TO CLIFF McDUFFIE OF ZEPHYRHILLS

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. GINNY BROWN-WAITE

                               of florida

                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, September 8, 2004

  Ms. GINNY BROWN-WAITE of Florida. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor 
Mr. Cliff McDuffie of Zephyrhills in my 5th Congressional District.
  Mr. McDuffie is an amazing gentleman who through his years of 
dedication to public service has continually helped make the city of 
Zephyrhills a better place. I had the pleasure of honoring him at his 
retirement on August 27, 2004, in Zephyrhills, FL.
  Cliff's tenure as a public servant began at the Greater Tampa Chamber 
of Commerce. There, he ran the small-business and personnel divisions 
and was operations manager. Cliff took over in Zephyrhills as the 
Executive Director of the city's Chamber of Commerce in 1997 after more 
than 20 years with the Tampa Chamber of Commerce. Despite his 
retirement, McDuffie will remain active and visible in the Zephyrhills 
community as the city's mayor.
  Cliff McDuffie is a shining example of what a public servant should 
aspire to become. I join the rest of Florida's Fifth Congressional 
District in thanking Mr. McDuffie for his years of service and wish him 
the best of luck with his retirement. I am proud to call him my 
constituent.
