                       TRIBUTE TO ROBERT CAMPBELL

 Mr. SHELBY. Mr. President, I rise today to pay tribute to 
Robert Campbell, of Mobile, AL, who will soon step down as regional 
manager at Lamar Advertising.
  Robert Campbell joined Lamar Advertising in 1972 as a posting manager 
in Mobile. Robert rose through the ranks of sales manager and general 
manager before being appointed regional manager in 1983. Throughout his 
tenure, Robert oversaw the integration of numerous meaningful 
acquisitions and hired and trained dozens in the company. He has served 
on the national legislative committee for the Outdoor Advertising 
Association of America, OAAA, for over two decades, and in 2007 he was 
inducted into the OAAA Hall of Fame.

  Further, Robert is a longtime supporter of the University of Alabama 
and its football program. His enthusiasm for Alabama is unwavering, 
even though the corporate headquarters of his company is based in Baton 
Rouge.
  Robert is an effective legislative advocate, and I appreciate his 
hard work throughout the years. It is with great pleasure that I join 
his friends, family, and colleagues in recognizing his commitment. I 
congratulate him on his retirement, and I wish him all the best as he 
transitions into a new chapter of his life.
