    CONGRESSMAN TOM CAMPBELL'S RELATIONSHIP WITH STANFORD UNIVERSITY

                                 ______


                           HON. TOM CAMPBELL

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                         Wednesday, May 8, 1996

  Mr. CAMPBELL. Mr. Speaker, in 1983, I commenced teaching at Stanford 
University. In 1987, I was awarded tenure in the law school as a full 
professor. I still maintain that position, though I am currently on 
leave. When I served in Congress from 1989 to 1993, I made my continued 
relationship with Stanford a matter of public record, and I wish to do 
so again.

  In connection with my tenured professorship, I am allowed to own a 
house on Stanford property, to rent out a cottage on that property, to 
receive salary for any semester in which I teach a full course load, to 
receive a stipened for less than a full course load, and to receive 
contributions to my retirement account commensurate with my 
compensation.
  When I served in Congress before, I received a statement from the 
ethics committee granting me permission to continue in the above 
described relationship, both in that and in future Congresses. I have 
requested similar permission from the ethics committee since joining 
Congress again.
  I have prepared this statement to make public, and also to deliver to 
any agency or person when appropriate in connection with my work as a 
Member of Congress so that, should the matter of business affect 
Stanford University, the recipient can weigh my advice or opinion 
knowing of the interest that I may have. However, I do assure any such 
recipient, and my constituents, that I have never, and will never, 
decide a matter of public policy that affects Stanford University 
differently because of my relationship with Stanford. Also, my wife, 
Susanne, is an employee of the Haas School of Business at the 
University of California at Berkeley. I offer the identical statement 
with regard to any action of mine that might affect that university as 
well.
