ANNOUNCING THE PASSING OF FORMER REPRESENTATIVE CARROLL CAMPBELL
(Mr. SPRATT asked and was given permission to address the House for 1
minute.)
Mr. SPRATT. Mr. Speaker, it is my sad responsibility as dean of the
South Carolina delegation to advise the House, and especially those who
served here in the 1980s, that Carroll Campbell, who served here from
1978 to 1986, died yesterday.
He served here for a period of nearly 10 years, went on to two
successful terms as Governor of South Carolina, and died at the age of
65 after a long battle with Alzheimer's.
Those who served with him remember him as a very, very able friend, a
wonderful Member of this institution, and someone of whom, as South
Carolinians especially, we are all proud.
I know that everyone who knew him especially will want to send their
prayers and best regards to his wife Iris and their two sons.
