           RECOGNIZING INLAND PORT DILLON'S FIFTH ANNIVERSARY

  (Mr. FRY asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. FRY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in recognition of the Inland Port 
Dillon's 5-year anniversary.
  South Carolina ports are a huge driver to a robust economy in our 
State, and I am proud that the Seventh District in the Pee Dee plays 
such an integral role in our State's port system through the Inland 
Port Dillon.
  When I visited there last month, Mr. Speaker, I witnessed firsthand 
how the port connects South Carolina businesses to a global 
marketplace.
  I thank the dedicated team at the Inland Port Dillon for their work 
to import and export thousands of container ships every year.
  This port is as beneficial to the Pee Dee as it is to the rest of the 
State. It is a huge driver for job growth and economic development in 
this underserved area of South Carolina.
  I look forward to seeing the port's future success and positive 
impact in our region.
