                       Wednesday, March 29, 2000

  Mr. RADANOVICH. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Lieutenant 
Colonel (LTC) Lloyd Vernon Camp for being selected to be inducted into 
the National Officer Candidate School Infantry Hall of Fame, in Fort 
Benning, Georgia.
  Lieutenant Colonel Camp joined the U.S. Army in March of 1943. Over 
the next few years, Camp was stationed in Normandy where he fought to 
drive the Germans out of France. Upon returning to the States in 1945, 
he was discharged from service at Camp Beal, California. In April 1947, 
he reentered the Army and was sent to South Korea as part of the 
Occupation Forces. Late in 1948 he returned to the U.S. again, and in 
June of 1949, he attended Officers School in Fort Riley, Kansas. 
Graduating in December of 1949, he was sent to Fort Benning, Georgia to 
attend the Basic Officers Course. Upon completion of the course, Camp 
was sent to Camp Carson, Colorado to assume the duties of a Second 
Lieutenant Infantry Officer, in the 15th Infantry Regiment. He went on 
to be a First Lieutenant (1951-1956), Captain (1956-1960), Major (1960-
1967), and finally Lieutenant Colonel (1967-retirement).
  After many years of service, Camp retired from the Army as a 
Lieutenant Colonel, to Clovis, California. In 1991 LTC Camp was 
recalled to Federal Active duty by FORSCOM, and assigned as a Family 
Support Officer for the Central Valley Army National Guard, Army 
Reserve, and Air National Guard families during the Desert Storm 
Operations.
  Among his numerous military achievements, LTC Camp received the 
Distinguished Service Cross; Bronze Star Medal; Combat Infantryman's 
Badge; European-African Middle Eastern Theater, with 4 Battle Stars; 
World War II Victory Medal; Good Conduct Medal; Armed Forces Reserve 
Medal; Meritorious Service Medal; National Defense Medal; Army 
Commendation Medal; as well as two foreign military awards, and three 
California National Guard Awards.
  Mr. Speaker, I want to congratulate Lieutenant Colonel Lloyd Vernon 
Camp for being selected to be inducted into the National Officer 
Candidate School Infantry Hall of Fame. This induction is well 
deserved. I urge my colleagues to join me in wishing Lieutenant Colonel 
Camp many more years of continued success.
