               SOUTH CAROLINA'S SECOND DISTRICT BUS TOUR

  (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, every August, I 
participate in a bus tour of South Carolina's Second District with my 
wife, Roxanne, and dedicated staff from Washington and district 
offices.
  I especially appreciate scheduler Stephanie Pendarvis for 
successfully coordinating her first bus tour in the tradition of Emily 
Saleeby.
  Our trip consisted of over 20 stops across 5 counties in the 
district. It was humbling and inspiring to meet with constituents at 
small businesses, schools, chambers of commerce, and manufacturers.
  Many of the stops I visited were rapidly growing, including Charter 
NEX Films of Columbia, a world leader in high-performance specialty 
films, who plan to add 100 more jobs, along with Swiss Krono of 
Barnwell, who plan to add 105 jobs. In addition, the Orangeburg County/
City Industrial Park has begun construction to welcome new businesses 
and jobs.
  I appreciate the Irmo Chamber of Commerce hosting a town hall on the 
tour. I am grateful to be accessible and accountable to constituents.
  In conclusion, God bless our troops, and we will never forget 
September the 11th in the global war on terrorism.
