                                 ______
                                 

                  MAUPIN RECEIVES PATRICK HENRY AWARD

 Mr. HOLLINGS. Mr. President, The Wilson Center for Leadership 
in the Public Interest at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia annually 
presents the Patrick Henry Award to alumni whose lives have been 
distinguished by dedication to public service. I'm proud to 
congratulate Colonel Joe Maupin, U.S. Army retired and my Lowcountry 
Representative in Charleston, SC, who is among the three who will be 
receiving the 2001 Patrick Henry Award this evening.
  Some of my colleagues may remember Colonel Maupin from his time as 
Chief of Army Liaison here in the Senate, his last assignment before 
retiring from the Army after 22 years of service. During those 22 
years, Joe attended Officer Candidate School, commanded several Field 
Artillery Batteries, was selected as a Major for Battalion Command and 
was inducted into the Field Artillery Hall of Fame. I am fortunate to 
have benefitted from Joe Maupin's dedication to public service, his 
willingness to get the job done, his ability to relate to people from 
all walks of life, his sense of humor, and, most of all, his 
friendship. I can think of no one more deserving of the Patrick Henry 
Award than Joe Maupin. My heartfelt congratulations go out to him and 
to his wonderful wife, Shirley, who made it possible for him to pursue 
not one, but two careers in public service.
