               PRAISING THE EFFORTS OF NUCOR CORPORATION

  (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. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to thank 
Nucor Corporation, our Nation's largest steel producer, for their 
investment in South Carolina and their commitment to our economy, our 
families and our environment.
  Nucor's commitment to South Carolina's economy is demonstrated by its 
4 statewide facilities professionally managed by Mike Gurley of 
Darlington, Ladd Hall of Berkeley, Lynn Strock of Florence and Jeff 
Carmean of Swansea. These facilities have produced more than $1 billion 
in total sales and have contributed more than $1 billion in total 
investment back into the State's economy.
  Nucor has touched the lives of families across the Palmetto State by 
employing 1,800 skilled and dedicated South Carolinians and by 
contributing over $300,000 in education scholarships last year.
  A leader in environmental stewardship, Nucor is the largest recycler 
in America, and through efficient fuel consumption, Nucor saves enough 
energy annually to power the city of Los Angeles for 8 years.

  Mr. Speaker, I commend Nucor for their wise investment in South 
Carolina's economy, families and environment.
