                             RIP ED FEULNER

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. JOE WILSON

                           of south carolina

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, July 22, 2025

  Mr. WILSON of South Carolina. Mr. Speaker, supporters of freedom 
universally appreciate the success of the late Ed Feulner. The Unleash 
Prosperity Hotline of Stephen Moore gives a heartfelt tribute of RIP Ed 
Feulner:

       ``Ed Feulner was a free-market conservative and fierce 
     anti-communist back in the 1970s, long before it was cool. He 
     invented the modern-day think tank, taking it from the days 
     of stodgy 200-page tomes that lay gathering dust on 
     bookshelves and read by few, to providing just-in-time, 
     influential, hard-hitting studies delivered into the hands of 
     the policymakers that mattered.
       ``Among his many contributions to advancing freedom and 
     free enterprise was to train hundreds of today's leading 
     voices in the conservative movement--including some of the 
     thinkers and activists at Unleash Prosperity. Heritage taught 
     young talent how to be relevant and impactful--something our 
     billion-dollar universities don't do.
       ``He believed that ``people are policy'' and that's a 
     lesson that this so-far successful Trump administration has 
     taken to heart. His legacy lives on.''
