COMMENDING THE WORK OF HOUSE CONSERVATIVES
(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, last week the House
engaged in an important debate regarding the transparency and
accountability of Member project requests. As Democrat leaders sought
to earmark taxpayer dollars in the dark of night, and away from public
scrutiny, House Republicans took them to task, demanding the reforms we
past last year be upheld.
I am grateful for the work of my colleagues on the Republican Study
Committee who are committed to returning our party to its roots of
fiscal discipline. Budget Committee ranking member Paul Ryan has worked
tirelessly in his fight against the Democrat budget, which amounts to
the largest tax increase in American history.
RSC chairman Jeb Hensarling and his staff are working night and day
literally to promote conservative philosophy. I am especially thankful
for the work of communications director Brad Dayspring, who works some
of the longest hours on Capitol Hill to accomplish this goal.
In conclusion, God bless our troops and we will never forget
September 11th.
