                     RECOGNIZING CALLIE'S BISCUITS

 Mr. SCOTT. Mr. President, today it is my pleasure to honor 
Callie's Biscuits, a small business in Charleston, SC, that serves up 
homemade, nationally recognized biscuits.
  Callie's was founded in 2005 by Carrie Morey to bring her mother 
Callie's biscuit recipe to folks across the country. I had a chance to 
meet Carrie in person, and there is no question that she exudes the 
exact traits required of someone determined to run a prosperous 
business. Today the company has since expanded to three locations, 
including Charleston's Upper King District and the Charleston City 
Market. Her goal was to build a business around her passion for 
southern food while creating a healthy environment for her to still 
spend time with her family. When Carrie first started the company, she 
only used part-time help. She now employs 65 people who help her carry 
out her business's day-to-day operations, while keeping the tradition 
of southern biscuit-making alive.
  The story of Callie's Biscuits is exemplary of the American 
entrepreneurial spirit that we are honoring during National Small 
Business Week. Callie's and other small businesses play a critical and 
unique role in our national economy and our communities. Carrie's 
success has brought great joy to South Carolinians and has garnered 
national recognition for her biscuits.
  Carrie also gives back to her community; she is a guest lecturer at 
the College of Charleston Business School's entrepreneurship classes 
and serves as an adviser to innovators at a baking incubator she 
operates. In this role, she advises these entrepreneurs on both baking 
and operating a small business. I would like to congratulate Carrie and 
all the employees of Callie's Biscuits for the positive impact they are 
making in the lowcountry and beyond, and I wish them continued success 
in their business.
