Cleary has served as AWO's East Coast rep- resentative in the Association's New York

City office.

Senator Moynihan, featured speaker at the

AWO board meeting, prefaced his remarks with a tribute to Mr. Cleary. Senator Moyni- han, chairman of the Senate's Subcommittee on Water Resources, made special note of

Mr. Cleary's significant contributions to mar- itime commerce in the state of New York.
