  Mr. KUCINICH. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in honor of Henry L. Meyer 
III and his leadership of KeyCorp on the occasion of his retirement.
  Henry L. Meyer began his long career with KeyCorp in the summer of 
1970, when he worked as a teller. After receiving a Bachelor of Arts 
degree in econometrics from Colgate University in 1972, Mr. Meyer 
joined KeyCorp, formerly Society National Bank. In 1978, he received a 
Master of Business Administration degree from Harvard University.
  In 1984, Mr. Meyer relocated for his position with Society National 
Bank to Dayton, but moved back to Cleveland in 1987 after being elected 
Executive Vice President of Society Corporation and Senior Executive 
Vice President of Society National Bank. In 1990, he was elected as 
Society National Bank's President and Chief Operating Officer, and 
became the Chief Executive Officer in 1993. After Society National Bank 
became KeyCorp in 1994, Mr. Meyer became the Chief Executive Officer in 
February of 2001. In May of 2001, he was elected as KeyCorp's Chairman 
of the Board.
  In addition to his career, Mr. Meyer is involved in his community. He 
serves on a number of civic and cultural boards in the Cleveland area, 
including the Northeast Ohio Council on Higher Education, Law 
Enforcement Foundation, Inc., ideastream (WVIZ/PBS and WCPN), United 
Way of Greater Cleveland, University School, the Greater Cleveland 
Partnership, University Hospitals Health System, Inc., and University 
Hospitals of Cleveland. Mr. Meyer is also on the Federal Advisory 
Council of the Federal Reserve System and serves as a director of 
Continental Airlines, Inc.
  Mr. Speaker and colleagues, please join me in honor of a hardworking 
and worthy individual, Mr. Henry Meyer. We should reflect on his good 
deeds and his admirable work ethic.
