                       TRIBUTE TO CHUCK LOVELESS

  Mr. REID. Mr. President, I rise today to honor and recognize the 
career of Chuck Loveless, director of Federal Government Affairs for 
the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, 
AFSCME. For 21 years, Mr. Loveless has labored tirelessly to protect 
the rights of workers. I have had the pleasure of working with Mr. 
Loveless as he represented AFSCME in the Nation's capital on a wide 
variety of issues affecting State and local government and health care 
employees.
  Mr. Loveless has a long list of accomplishments over the span of his 
career. He received his J.D. from Georgetown University Law Center and 
an M.A. degree in political science from the University of California, 
Berkeley. He is a past chairman of the International Foundation of 
Employee Benefit Plans' Public Employees Committee and of its 
Government Liaison Committee. He is a member of the International 
Foundation's Government Liaison Committee and Health Care Expert Panel. 
Mr. Loveless is a former chair of Americans for Tax Fairness and of 
Americans United for Change, and he continues to serve on the latter's 
board. He is also a member of the board of Citizens for Tax Justice.
  On behalf of the Senate, I commend Chuck Loveless on a lifetime of 
public service, and I wish him the best in all his future endeavors.
