           CELEBRATING SAVANNAH RIVER SITE'S 75TH ANNIVERSARY

  (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, President Harry Truman 
proposed in 1950 the Savannah River Site for the development of nuclear 
weapons in support of American defense.
  Succeeding in the goal of peace through strength with victory over 
communism, the end of the Cold War resulted in a drawdown of nuclear 
weapon processing, shifting focus to missions and environmental 
cleanup.
  Mr. Speaker, 75 years later, South Carolina recognizes the positive 
impact the Savannah River Site has made for American national security 
and families, creating jobs.
  I am grateful the Savannah River Site is ensuring national security 
and communities are safe. I wish them a happy 75th anniversary.
  In conclusion, God bless our troops as the global war on terrorism 
continues. Trump is reinstituting existing laws to protect American 
families with peace through strength, revealing war criminal Putin 
lies, insulting and mocking Trump with record drone attacks, murdering 
civilians as the Putin incompetent Air Force is destroyed by talented 
Ukrainians.
