                     HONORING SPEAKER MIKE JOHNSON

  (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, what an extraordinary day 
that we have, the beginning of the speakership of   Mike Johnson of 
Louisiana.
  I hope everyone will see his acceptance speech last night. They need 
to look at that. It was a conservative, very clear voice calling for 
limited government, expanded freedom, and reduced regulations to 
provide for a strong America. It is such a positive message. He 
promised to be with the people, and he is so much with the people, he 
is sitting in the front row. No Speaker has ever sat in the front row. 
This is another first.
  In addition to that, Speaker   Mike Johnson is going to address 
Bidenomics, the most extraordinary inflation in 40 years, where 
American families have lost $7,000. He is going to stop the war on 
fossil fuels so that we have fuels and energy independence. He is going 
to be for a strong America, and that is how we are going to deter the 
dictators around the world who have invaded Ukraine, who have invaded 
Israel, who threaten the people of Taiwan.
  America will be strong.
  We will have a dynamic Speaker. We look forward to his leadership, 
and again, America is back on track.
