             APPRECIATION AND RECOGNITION FOR DREW KENNEDY

  (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 to recognize 
Drew Kennedy for his congressional staff service to the Second District 
of South Carolina.
  Drew has been a valued team member for over 10 years, and both his 
contributions and presence will be missed. Upon graduating from the 
University of South Carolina, Drew served constituents at the Midlands' 
office and then moved to Washington. Drew quickly became an expert in 
many policy areas, advising on committee issues, preparing legislation, 
working on markups, and more. His competence earned him the position of 
deputy chief of staff.
  Drew has become a respected leader among his peers and industry 
leaders. Our loss is the gain of the House Armed Services Committee. 
Multiple generations of Drew's family are appreciated, with 
grandparents Jane and Richard Kennedy being founders of the modern 
Republican majority in South Carolina, with his civic leader parents, 
Judge Cathy Kennedy and Dr. Attorney Rick Kennedy.
  In conclusion, God bless our troops who successfully protected 
America for 20 years as the global war on terrorism continues moving 
from the Afghanistan safe haven to America.
