                    in the house of representatives

                       Friday, February 11, 2022

  Mr. WILSON of South Carolina. Madam Speaker, congratulations to Colin 
Demarest, an appreciated journalist of Aiken, South Carolina, for his 
new assignment at C4ISRNET, a publication covering emerging issues and 
trends in global military transformation in Washington. A graduate of 
the University of South Carolina, Colin began his journalism career at 
The Berkshire View as a featured writer. Later, he became an editor and 
reporter at Limestone Communications, where he covered government in 
five different cities and two regional school districts.
  When he joined the Aiken Standard, Colin initially focused on 
reporting on the Aiken city government. After some time, he was 
assigned to report on the Savannah River Site National Laboratory, a 
multi-billion dollar facility with about 11,000 employees. At times, 
this assignment brought him to Washington, D.C., where he reported on 
anything involving the Savannah River Site.
  Colin was thoughtful to come to many events over the years. He would 
report on my Legislative Agenda Tours, Bus Tours, and any other local 
events that I attended in South Carolina. As a former journalist 
myself, I know Colin will be successful at his new assignment reporting 
from the Pentagon. I wish the best for Colin Demarest in all his future 
endeavors.
