                            THE COOKIE LADY

  (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, while they are 
courageously serving our great Nation overseas, America's brave men and 
women in uniform are receiving sweet treats from South Carolina's Ms. 
Janet Cram, the Cookie Lady.
  Ms. Cram, a Hilton Head Island resident, has organized Treat the 
Troops, a baking program to send delicious cookies to troops in harm's 
way.
  She doesn't act alone in this endeavor. Her friends, also known as 
Crumbs, help her prepare the packages and batter. Baking over 2 million 
cookies for our troops, Jeanette and her Crumbs started this process in 
1990 during the gulf war.
  America is in a new era in which our soldiers are working around the 
world protecting American families at home by preventing additional 
acts of terrorism. It is uplifting to know that individuals like 
Jeanette and her Crumbs are doing their part to help our troops and 
sweeten their days.
  In conclusion, God bless our troops, and we will never forget 
September the 11th in the Global War on Terrorism.
  Congratulations on the success of the National Day of Prayer. 
Welcome, Franklin Graham, to Capitol Hill.
