                       REASSURING EUROPEAN ALLIES

  (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, last week I was grateful 
to join Senator Lindsey Graham on a delegation for the Munich Security 
Conference. A highlight was Vice President Mike Pence reaffirming 
America's commitment to the Transatlantic Alliance.
  I then joined the delegation led by Congressmen Gerry Connolly and 
Rick Larsen for the NATO Parliamentary Assembly.
  House Speaker Nancy Pelosi reassured our allies of bipartisan support 
for NATO's continued success. Congressman Mike Turner ably presided as 
vice president of the assembly.
  Another highlight in Brussels was to meet with U.S. Ambassador Ronald 
Gidwitz and his wife, Christina, whose enthusiasm for service is 
extraordinary.
  The ambassador is promoting the restoration of the Mardasson 
Memorial, honoring American servicemembers in the Battle of the Bulge.
  In conclusion, God bless our troops, and we will never forget 
September the 11th in the global war on terrorism.
