  Mr. WILSON of South Carolina. Madam Speaker, I rise today to wish a 
fond farewell to a member of the Second District staff, George Harper. 
George has been a member of our team for almost 2 years, and he has 
brought a strong level of professionalism and personal integrity to the 
job. I am happy to report that George will not be traveling far as he 
joins Congressman Jon Porter's office as a legislative assistant.
  A graduate of the University of Nebraska, George first came to 
Capitol Hill as a summer intern in the office of Senator Jim DeMint of 
South Carolina. After serving as a deputy legislative assistant to 
Senator Chuck Hagel of Nebraska, he joined our office, first as a 
scheduler and then as legislative correspondent.
  George's hard work, dedication and pleasant demeanor have made him an 
invaluable member of our staff as we work hard to address the needs and 
concerns of the people of the Second Congressional District. Our office 
will miss George tremendously. And we wish him all the best in all his 
future endeavors.
  In conclusion, God bless our troops. And we will never forget 
September 11th.
