                      TRIBUTE TO SHELDON L. MORGAN

  Mr. HEFLIN. Mr. President, I want to pay tribute to Sheldon L. 
Morgan, who recently retired as senior vice president after 23 years 
with the First Alabama Bank. He was manager of the 
[[Page S6001]]  bank's corporate sales and services department, which 
included national accounts, industrial development, private banking, 
and corporate cash management. He had also served as head of First 
Alabama's marketing division.
  Prior to joining the bank in 1972, Sheldon was manager of industrial 
trade development for the Mobile, AL Area Chamber of Commerce. His 
colorful career also carried him to the Alabama State docks, where he 
served as public relations director, and to the Mobile County schools, 
where he taught. He was in the U.S. Air Force from 1948 to 1952.
  Sheldon received his bachelor's and a master's degrees from Auburn 
University. He also graduated from the Stonier Graduate School of 
Banking at Rutgers University in New Jersey. His thesis was selected 
for placement in the libraries of the American Bankers Association and 
the Harvard business school.
  In addition to being an outstanding manager and banker, Sheldon 
Morgan has served his community through a wide variety of civic and 
professional organizations, including his service as president of the 
advisory board of the Providence Hospital School of Nursing; the Mobile 
Azalea Trail Festival; the Mobile Kiwanis Club; Senior Citizens 
Service; and the Industrial Developers Association of Alabama, which he 
founded. He has also served as a member of the Junior Chamber of 
Commerce, the American Cancer Society; and the Mobile Economic 
Development Council.
  I congratulate Sheldon for his illustrious career and for his many 
contributions to his community and state. I wish him all the best for a 
happy, healthy, and long retirement.
