         TRIBUTE TO CARROLL CAMPBELL, FORMER MEMBER OF CONGRESS

  (Mr. DANIEL E. LUNGREN of California asked and was given permission 
to address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his 
remarks.)
  Mr. DANIEL E. LUNGREN of California. Mr. Speaker, I rise in brief 
comment about a former Member of this House who passed away this week, 
Carroll Campbell. As one who came to this House with Carroll Campbell 
in January of 1979, I would say that if you were to draw a blueprint 
for an outstanding Member of Congress, you could do no better than to 
look to Carroll Campbell. Carroll Campbell served tremendously as the 
governor of his home State of South Carolina, but before that, served 
with great honor and distinction in this House.
  Mr. Speaker, I can say that he was a man of great integrity. He was 
one that you admired in every aspect. I can recall him being the first 
Member from my side of the aisle south of the Mason-Dixon line who came 
out in support of the extension of the Voting Rights Act. He provided 
leadership in so many areas, whether tax policy, national defense or 
otherwise.
  Carroll Campbell was a champion. Carroll Campbell left us far too 
soon, and we send our words, our good wishes, and our hopes with his 
wife and his children. This House is a greater place because of the 
service rendered to this House by Carroll Campbell.
