                     IN RECOGNITION OF RYAN MURPHY

  (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. Madam Speaker, in Congress, there is a 
normal shuffling of positions. Today, it is with mixed emotions that I 
announce the departure of Ryan Murphy.
  For the past 2 years, Ryan has done a professional job while serving 
as communications director for the Second Congressional District under 
very extraordinary circumstances. Ryan has handled his position with 
professionalism, grace, and integrity. His dedication and work ethic 
will be difficult to replace.
  Ryan began his career as a staff member of Congressman Tom Price. He 
will continue his service on Monday as the minority press secretary for 
the Committee on Education and Labor.
  I especially appreciate Ryan as a fellow graduate of Washington and 
Lee University and Sigma Nu. Ryan is the son of Mike and Chris Murphy 
of Atlanta and Hilton Head. He is a credit to the people of South 
Carolina and Georgia. I wish him Godspeed.
  In conclusion, God bless our troops and we will never forget 
September the 11th in the global war on terrorism.
  Welcome, Boeing, to South Carolina. We are grateful for the new jobs 
in the tradition of Michelin and BMW.
