SEATTLE–The outgoing chairman of the Property Casualty Insurers Association of America said yesterday that the organization's leadership is impatient with state regulators and is examining legislation that would give more input to federal authorities.

In that context, Gerald Whitburn, PCI chairman, told National Underwriter at PCI's annual conference here that he expects to see Democrats win control of the House of Representative, which represents an opportunity for the industry. Mr. Whitburn is also chairman and chief executive officer of Church Mutual Insurance Company, Merrill, Wis.

Mr. Whitburn said there has been a growing interest among PCI membership about what is happening at the federal level in regards to insurance.
