                      TRIBUTE TO CLIFTON G. BROWN

  Mr. THURMOND. Madam President, I rise today to pay tribute to a good 
friend and one of South Carolina's proudest sons, Mr. Clifton G. Brown, 
who recently passed away.
  A graduate of The Citadel, Mr. Brown had a strong commitment to 
public service. It was this commitment that led him into the Army Air 
Corps during World War II; into city government as a council member and 
mayor; and into Federal service as an employee of the Department of 
Housing and Urban Development. Additionally, he was a respected 
attorney, having graduated from the University of South Carolina's 
School of Law, and businessman.
  Mr. Brown was also involved in many other business and civic 
activities including several banks; the South Carolina Bar Association; 
the American Legion; and the University of South Carolina Alumni 
Association. His many efforts did not go unnoticed and he was 
recognized with the HUD Distinguished Service Award and the Order of 
the Palmetto, South Carolina's highest award.
  Madam President, Clifton Brown is a man who contributed much to his 
community and State and he will be greatly missed by all who knew him. 
I would like to take this opportunity to extend my deepest sympathies 
to his lovely wife, Carolyn; and their two sons, Clifton, Jr., and 
John.
