                 THANKS TO THE PEOPLE OF SOUTH CAROLINA

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. JAMES E. CLYBURN

                           of south carolina

                    in the house of representatives

                      Tuesday, September 20, 2005

  Mr. CLYBURN. Mr. Speaker, I rise to say thanks to the people of South 
Carolina, most especially those in the midlands area, for the 
tremendous outpouring of love and respect shown to victims of Katrina. 
And, I want to pay particular thanks to the Mayor of Columbia, Bob 
Coble; Columbia businessman, Sam Tenenbaum; Columbia Chamber of 
Commerce President, Ike McLeese; and the President of the University of 
South Carolina, Andrew Sorensen. This dynamic quartet decided that they 
would be guided from the beginning by the Golden Rule: ``Do unto others 
as we would have them do unto us.'' Consequently, they decided that 
nobody coming to Columbia would be placed in a shelter. Everybody would 
be put in motel rooms or in individual homes. We have just received 
word that we will be receiving additional evacuees tomorrow morning and 
I now call upon the people who will be manning our one-stop reception 
center to continue putting the Golden Rule into practice.
