                    FAREWELL TO WILSON TEAM FELLOWS

  (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. Mr. Speaker, I am grateful for the 
dedicated staff work of Major Jonathan Grabill, who served as a 
military fellow, and Drew Nickels, who served as a foreign policy 
fellow, in the office of the Second District.
  Major Grabill has had a distinguished career in the Army for more 
than 16 years. He provided key insight in developing the National 
Defense Authorization Act. He has been deployed to Germany, Iraq, and 
Kuwait. His background has been vital to reverse the decline of 
readiness in our military.
  A leader on foreign policy issues, Mr. Nickels has worked tirelessly 
to develop legislation for the Foreign Affairs Committee. He previously 
served as intelligence briefer for two Secretaries of Energy. Before 
that, he was an intelligence analyst with the Foreign Nuclear Programs 
Division at DOE.
  Mr. Speaker, their service will always be appreciated, with 
congratulations for being members of the Wilson team.
  In conclusion, God bless our troops, and we will never forget 
September the 11th in the global war on terrorism.
  Our sympathy to the family of Diane Wells; her husband, Joey; and 
children Eli, Maya, and Emma.
