                         THANK YOU TO SC HEALTH

  (Mr. WILSON of South Carolina asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. WILSON of South Carolina. Madam Speaker, I am grateful to SC 
Health and their President, Alex Szkaradek, and their general counsel, 
John Pincelli, for their generous donation of 10,000 protective masks 
to defeat the Wuhan virus. I had the opportunity to distribute them at 
the West Columbia City Hall, welcomed by Mayor Tem Miles and Columbia 
Mayor Steve Benjamin. We were also joined by Lexington Sheriff Jay 
Koon, and representatives of Richland Sheriff Leon Lott, Aiken Sheriff 
Mike Hunt, and Orangeburg Sheriff Leroy Ravenell.
  Masks were provided to chambers of commerce for small businesses 
represented by Carl Blackstone of Columbia, Richard Skipper of West 
Columbia, Mike Taylor of Batesburg-Leesville, Rebecca Hines of Chapin, 
Miriam Atria of Lake Murray, Terra Carroll of North Augusta, and Phil 
Frye of Blythewood.
  The private sector, not just government, is making a difference.
  In conclusion, God Bless our troops, and we will never forget 
September the 11th in the global war on terrorism.
