  Mr. WILSON of South Carolina. Madam Speaker, October 1st was a 
special day for the Wilson family with the birth of Emily Ruth Wilson 
at Portsmouth Naval Hospital in Virginia. She is the first daughter of 
Add and Lauren Wilson. Add is a Navy doctor assigned to the Navy SEALs 
on the East Coast. She weighs 7 pounds 6 ounces and is 20\1/4\ inches 
in length. Emily Ruth has two older brothers, Addison, III, age 4 and 
Houston, age 2.
  Emily Ruth is a particularly noteworthy addition to our family. She 
is the first female Wilson born into the family since 1919. As happy 
paternal grandparents, I and my wife, Roxanne are delighted to welcome 
her as she joins our two grandsons, four sons, and two brothers.
