                       MR. DENTON GOES TO SENATE

  (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, with the conclusion of a 
session, there is a normal shuffling of staff positions, and for the 
office of the Second District of South Carolina we will miss Wesley 
Denton, who has served for 3 years as communications director.
  I have mixed feelings, personally, about this move; but I am thrilled 
Wesley has been selected to serve with Senator-elect Jim DeMint of 
South Carolina. Congressman DeMint is a person of high integrity and 
competence, which is reflected by his choosing Wesley.
  Wesley will be a part of history, in that South Carolina has not had 
two

Republican U.S. Senators since 1877. Beginning in January, we will have 
the achievement of U.S. Senators Lindsey Graham and Jim DeMint. With 
Wesley's congressional experience, his training with Ed Meese at the 
Heritage Foundation, and his work with the House Committee on Armed 
Services, Wesley will assist the Senator to best represent the people 
of South Carolina.
  Wesley Denton, one of five sons of Cassy and Dan Denton of Beaufort, 
South Carolina, and the newlywed husband of the former Kari Brooks, is 
a credit to the people of South Carolina, and I wish him Godspeed.
  In conclusion, God bless our troops and we will never forget 
September 11.
