THE GOLDEN RULE
(Mr. CLYBURN asked and was given permission to address the House for
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. CLYBURN. Madam Speaker, I come today to say to the people of
South Carolina, most especially the people of Columbia and the
midlands, how much I appreciate the tremendous outpouring of love and
respect they have given to the victims of Katrina. I want to say a
special thank you to Mayor Bob Coble of Columbia, businessman Sam
Tannenbaum of Columbia, and the Columbia chamber president, Ike
McLeese.
These three dynamic gentlemen coordinated an effort in Columbia to
receive evacuees that I would like to call a practical application of
the Golden Rule. They decided that they would not put anyone in
shelters. Anyone coming to Columbia would go to a home or to a private
motel room. We have just been informed that we can expect more evacuees
coming to Columbia tomorrow morning.
I want to say those who have volunteered to man the One Stop Center
to please continue to practice the Golden Rule.
