                       PRAISING OPPORTUNITY ZONES

  (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, on Friday, I was 
grateful to travel on Air Force One to Charlotte with my colleagues 
from South Carolina, Ralph Norman and William Timmons, along with our 
colleagues from North Carolina, Virginia Foxx, Patrick McHenry, Richard 
Hudson, Mark Meadows, Mark Walker, Ted Budd,  Dan Bishop, and Greg 
Murphy.
  WIS-TV News of Columbia reported the President spoke at the North 
Carolina Opportunity Now Summit at Central Piedmont Community College. 
President Trump highlighted the impact opportunity zones have made and 
announced a new nationwide initiative called Opportunity Now.
  ``Under my administration, we work to restore the American promise of 
upward mobility,'' President Trump said. ``We want everyone to get 
ahead and get ahead big league.''
  Over the weekend, everywhere I went, citizens praised President 
Donald Trump with victory in the impeachment hoax as acquitted, 
exonerated, vindicated, not guilty, innocent, empowered, esteemed, and 
cleared.
  Madam Speaker, I congratulate President Donald Trump.
  In conclusion, God bless our troops, and we will never forget 
September the 11th in the global war on terrorism.
