                    SEQUESTRATION MUST BE ADDRESSED

  (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, with the negotiations 
surrounding the fiscal cliff, the administration is ignoring 
sequestration. This important issue must be addressed which devastates 
national security and destroys 700,000 jobs.
  In addition, I am grateful for the opportunity to offer a fond 
farewell to two hardworking staffers, Ryann DuRant, office scheduler, 
and Master Gunnery Sergeant Michelle King, military Fellow of the 
United States Marine Corps. Both women have served with dedication to 
the people of South Carolina's Second Congressional District. Michelle 
is relocating to the Pentagon where she will work with the Sexual 
Assault Prevention and Response Office. Ryann is taking a legislative 
correspondent and press assistant position with her new hometown 
representative of Myrtle Beach, Congressman-elect Tom Rice. Their 
competence, hard work, and good humor will be missed. We wish them all 
the best of success in the future.
  In conclusion, God bless our troops, and we will never forget 
September the 11th in the global war on terrorism.
