                CONGRATULATING PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP

  (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. Madam Speaker, I congratulate President 
Donald Trump for an inspiring speech to the Nation last night.


                      Welcoming Mary Blythe Thomas

  Mr. WILSON of South Carolina. Madam Speaker, last Wednesday, on 
February 26, Lexington County, South Carolina, grew by one as Byron and 
Rebecca Thomas joyfully welcomed their beautiful daughter, Mary Blythe 
Thomas, into the world.
  Born at 5:07 p.m., weighing 7 pounds, 14 ounces, and measuring 21 
inches long, Mary Blythe entered a loving and nurturing home and 
community.
  I am grateful for her father, Byron, a dedicated, long-term staff 
member of the Second Congressional District's Midlands office, serving 
as director of outreach. He simultaneously serves as a city of Cayce 
councilmember.
  Mary Blythe is blessed to be born into a home that will foster and 
guide her to a bright and fulfilling future, including her five 
wonderful grandparents, Jeff and Vickey Thomas, Lana Thomas, and Bruce 
and Nancy Pope.
  On behalf of my wife, Roxanne, and our entire family and staff, best 
wishes and warmest regards to Byron, Rebecca, and Mary Blythe. May the 
years ahead be filled with joy, love, and blessings.


                      Honoring Lincoln Diaz-Balart

  Mr. WILSON of South Carolina. Madam Speaker, I rise to offer sympathy 
to the family of Congressman Lincoln Diaz-Balart. America has been 
blessed with the service of the extended Diaz-Balart family to the 
people of the United States.
