                      Thursday, September 20, 2018

  Mr. DeSAULNIER. Mr. Speaker, Leader Pelosi and I rise today to 
recognize Charles W. (Chip) Meyers, Jr. who has recently retired from 
UPS after 38 years of dedicated service. Chip, a native San Franciscan, 
began working for UPS in downtown San Francisco in 1980. Since that 
time, he has enjoyed a steady rise through the ranks, and since 2005 
has served as a Vice President of Public Affairs, working out of the 
company's Washington, D.C. office.
  While in California, Chip graduated from St. Ignatius College 
Preparatory High School, earned a Bachelor of Science degree from St. 
Mary's College, and a marketing certificate from the University of 
California at Berkeley. Later, he earned a Masters' of Business 
Administration degree from Indiana Wesleyan University. His father, 
Charles W. Meyers, represented San Francisco, with distinction, as a 
member of the California General Assembly from 1948-1970.
  Throughout his career at UPS, Chip has held various positions of 
increasing responsibility in operations, sales, marketing, and public 
affairs, while living in California, Montana, Indiana, and Washington. 
Most recently, he served as an executive on loan to the Paralyzed 
Veterans of America, continuing his lifelong passion for aiding those 
who have served in the United States Armed Forces.
  Mr. Speaker, Leader Pelosi and I are grateful for the opportunity to 
formally acknowledge Chip Meyers' meaningful contributions to our 
community and honor his service to UPS on the floor of the United 
States House of Representatives. Chip has carried out his professional 
duties with the utmost integrity, professionalism, sincerity, and has 
been a friend to all whom have encountered him on Capitol Hill 
throughout the past 13 years. Leader Pelosi and I want to congratulate 
this proud son of California for his 38 years at UPS, and wish him, his 
wife of 29 years, Linda, and their daughters Christiana, Analisa, and 
Alexandra all the best in retirement. I thank Chip Meyers, for his many 
contributions to his company, and our country.
