To designate the United States courthouse to be constructed in Greenville, South Carolina, as the "Carroll A. Campbell, Jr. United States Courthouse".

Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume.

H.R. 5546, as amended, is a bill to designate the United States courthouse located in Greenville, South Carolina, as the Carroll A. Campbell, Jr., United States Courthouse. This bill, introduced by Mr. Inglis, has bipartisan support from the South Carolina delegation.

Mr. Campbell was born in 1940 in Greenville, South Carolina. He attended public school in Greenville and graduated from the University of South Carolina. From 1970 to 1974, he served in the South Carolina House of Representatives. In 1975, he was appointed as Executive Assistant to Governor Jim Edwards. In 1976, he was elected to the State Senate; and in 1978 he was elected to the 96th Congress as a Republican from South Carolina. He served for three terms in Congress, and in 1987 he ran for Governor of South Carolina and served from 1987 to 1995. Carroll Campbell died in December, 2005, from the effects of Alzheimer's disease.

Mr. Campbell was known as the man who built the Republican Party in South Carolina to a dominant political force. In 1978, when Mr. Campbell headed to Congress, he won assignment on the Appropriations Committee and the Ways and Means Committee. In 1980, he joined forces with Lee Atwater to engineer the primary victory of Ronald Reagan in South Carolina.

As Governor, Mr. Campbell realized that South Carolina had to become a modern State to compete in the world economy; and he revamped the State's tax code to make it more business friendly, which resulted in record economic growth. He was personally involved in bringing the BMW plant to upstate South Carolina. Campbell was continually active in the international arena trying to bring business to South Carolina.

Campbell's greatest challenge was dealing with Hurricane Hugo in 1989. He joined forces with South Carolina Mayor Joe Riley and planned how to deal with the storm. He was a decision leader, and his decisions to prepare and evacuate saved many lives.

Congressman Campbell served the citizens of South Carolina with devotion and energy. It is fitting and proper to honor his civic contributions with this designation.

Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time.

Mr. Speaker, I rise in support of H.R. 5546, as amended, a bill to designate the United States Courthouse located in Greenville, South Carolina, as the Carroll A. Campbell, Jr. United States Courthouse. This bill, introduced by the gentleman from South Carolina (Mr. Inglis), has the bipartisan support of the South Carolina delegation.

Carroll Campbell was born in 1940 in Greenville, South Carolina. He attended public schools in Greenville, and graduated from the University of South Carolina. From 1970 to 1974, he served in the South Carolina House of Representatives. In 1976, Governor Campbell was elected to the State Senate and, in 1978, he was elected to the 96th Congress, as a Republican from South Carolina. He served for three succeeding Congresses. In 1987, he ran for Governor of South Carolina and served as Governor from 1987 to 1995. As Governor, Campbell was personally involved in bringing a BMW plant to upstate South Carolina. Carroll Campbell passed away in December 2005.

Perhaps Campbell's greatest challenge as Governor was dealing with Hurricane Hugo in 1989. He joined forces with Charleston Mayor Joe Riley and methodically planned how to deal with the storm. He was a decision leader and his decisions to prepare and evacuate doubtlessly saved lives.

Governor Campbell served the citizens of South Carolina with devotion and boundless energy. It is fitting and proper to honor his civic contributions with this designation.

I urge my colleagues to join me in supporting H.R. 5546, as amended.

Mr. Speaker, I move to suspend the rules and pass the bill (H.R. 5546) to designate the Federal courthouse to be constructed in Greenville, South Carolina, as the ``Carroll A. Campbell, Jr. Federal Courthouse,'' as amended.

Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume.

H.R. 5546, introduced by Representative Bob Inglis of South Carolina, designates the United States Courthouse to be constructed in Greenville, South Carolina, as the Carroll A. Campbell, Jr. Federal Courthouse. The bill honors former South Carolina Governor and U.S. Congressman Carroll A. Campbell, Jr.

In 1970, Governor Campbell's political career began with his election to the South Carolina House of Representatives, and later served in the South Carolina Senate. He served in the U.S. House of Representatives from 1979 until his election as Governor in 1986.

As Governor of South Carolina, Campbell coordinated his State's response to Hurricane Hugo and lured large industry to the State. After two terms in office, Governor Campbell was prevented from seeking a third term by term limits.

In 2001, at the relatively young age of 61, Governor Campbell was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease. Governor Campbell passed away after a severe heart attack on December 7, 2005.

This is a fitting tribute to a dedicated public servant and a former Member of this Chamber. I support this legislation and encourage all my colleagues to do the same.

Mr. Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.

Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time.
