                  TRIBUTE TO MARIA BOUCHELLE CAMPBELL

  Mr. HEFLIN. Mr. President, the professional life of one of my 
constituents, Ms. Maria Bouchelle Campbell, has recently taken a 
dramatic turn. Maria was formerly the executive vice president, 
secretary and general counsel at AmSouth Bank in Birmingham, capacities 
in which she served with distinction for 20 years. Effective September 
1, she became assistant to the rector of the Parish of Trinity 
Episcopal Church on Wall Street in New York City. In this new position, 
Maria will bring to bear her knowledge and experience in law and 
business on the work of a unique Christian institution.
  Maria Campbell received her bachelor and law degrees at the 
University of Georgia. Over the years, she has been a dedicated leader 
in numerous professional and civic organizations, as well as in the 
Episcopal Church. She has served on the board of directors of the YWCA; 
as a commissioner on the Birmingham district housing authority; and as 
chairman of the lawyers committee of the National Association of Bank 
Holding Cos. She has also served as the chancellor, as a member of the 
canonical revision committee, and as treasurer and chairman of the 
department of finance of the Episcopal Diocese of Alabama.
  Among the selected honors that have come Maria's way over the years 
are her honorable mention as a National Merit Scholar, her selection as 
executive editor of the Georgia Law Review, and her inclusion on 1989's 
list of Top Ten Birmingham Women, published by the Birmingham Business 
Journal. She has been admitted to practice law by the Supreme Courts of 
Georgia, Florida, and Alabama, as well as the U.S. Courts of Appeals 
for the 5th and 11th Circuits and the U.S. District Court for the 
Northern District of Alabama. She has been listed in Who's Who in 
America, Who's Who of American Women, and Who's Who in American Law.
  I regret that she has left Alabama, because she leaves a tremendous 
void in both the business and legal communities in my State that will 
be difficult to fill. But Maria's new position with her beloved 
Episcopal Church will offer new challenges and rewards. I congratulate 
her and wish her all the best for an exceptionally bright and 
stimulating future.
