                     HURRICANE DORIAN PREPAREDNESS

  (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, with last week's threat of 
Hurricane Dorian to South Carolina, I am grateful to the State 
officials who worked to prepare the people of South Carolina. I 
appreciate Governor Henry McMaster, Adjutant General Van McCarty, 
Secretary of Transportation Christy Hall, Attorney General Alan Wilson, 
as well as Kim Stenson, the director of the Emergency Management 
Division.
  As the hurricane approached, I went by to thank all of the State and 
Federal personnel in the South Carolina Emergency Management Division 
at Pine Ridge. The work this division achieves is vital to the safety 
of thousands of South Carolinians, and I commend them on their 
vigilance and around-the-clock attention.
  I am grateful that Governor McMaster closely coordinated with 
President Trump and continuously kept the people of South Carolina up-
to-date on the ever-changing hurricane.
  I would also like to thank President Donald Trump for helping South 
Carolina to prepare in this time of uncertainty.
  In conclusion, God bless our troops, and we will never forget 
September the 11th in the global war on terrorism.
