ORANGEBURG PREPARATORY SCHOOL
(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. This morning, 79 students from
Orangeburg Preparatory School in South Carolina's Second District are
in the Capitol to learn about the legislative process and the history
of the Nation's Capitol Building. Under the leadership of Head Master
Kelly Mills, the students at Orangeburg Preparatory School excel both
in and out of the classroom. Such success is achieved through
partnerships between the community, teachers, parents, students, and
alumni.
As a member of the House Education and Labor Committee, I am grateful
to spend time with these bright young students and will continue to
pursue policies that advance fiscally responsible reforms that will
improve their educational opportunities through higher education and
beyond. We need insurance reform, not big government takeover. I also
want to note that when you meet them, the students here today from
Orangeburg Prep continue a tradition to be the best-dressed student
group to visit the Capitol.
In conclusion, God bless our troops, and we will never September the
11th in the global war on terrorism.
