                       PRAISING SENATOR TIM SCOTT

  (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. Last night, on ``Sunday Night in 
America with Trey Gowdy'' on FOX News, Senator Tim Scott suspended his 
Republican Presidential campaign.
  In his decision, the Senator said, ``I love America more today than I 
did on May 22. . . . I am suspending my campaign. I think the voters, 
who are the most remarkable people on the planet, have been really 
clear that they are telling me: Not now, Tim.''
  He has served since 2011 as a Congressman and then followed as a 
Senator since 2013. Growing up in North Charleston with his inspiring 
mother, Frances, Tim Scott has two brothers: Ben, an Army Command 
sergeant major, and Earl, an Air Force colonel.
  On Friday, to celebrate Diwali, I met with Consul General Ramesh Babu 
of India, where I recognized the three countries most attacked by 
terrorists are India, America, and Israel, with Israel tomorrow being 
appreciated with AIPAC a part of the rally fighting dictators, as is 
Ukraine fighting war criminal Putin.
  In conclusion, God bless our troops, who successfully protected 
America for 20 years as the global war on terrorism continues moving 
from Afghanistan's safe haven to America with Biden's open borders.
