                        TRIBUTE TO CHUCK CLARKE

 Mr. MURPHY. Mr. President, today I wish to recognize a 
distinguished and outstanding citizen of the State of Connecticut, 
Charles J. ``Chuck'' Clarke, on the eve of his retirement from 
Travelers. In 1958, Chuck joined Travelers as a property casualty 
underwriter. He has lived and raised a family in the Hartford area 
since 1963, currently residing in Glastonbury. Chuck's responsibilities 
grew steadily during his long tenure with the company, as he moved up 
from the position of underwriter, to vice president, to senior vice 
president, to president of the Travelers Property Casualty Corp., and 
most recently to vice chairman of The Travelers Companies, Inc. Chuck 
is a leader in the insurance industry and a legend among his co-workers 
at Travelers. For 55 years, he has provided leadership, sound judgment, 
and a passion for the business of insurance that has benefited 
Travelers and the State of Connecticut.
  I ask my colleagues to join me in paying tribute to this outstanding 
man. A leader in action and by the example he set for others. A humble 
man who always referred to himself as ``just an underwriter,'' when 
those who worked with him knew that he was much more. The State of 
Connecticut has been enriched by his service, and I truly wish him 
happiness and enjoyment after his long tenure.
