                        REMEMBERING DOUG LAMALFA

  (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, it is an honor for me to 
be able to recognize and appreciate our dear friend, Doug LaMalfa, who 
served so well here in Congress. He was such a patriot that we all 
could appreciate.
  He was a fourth-generation rice farmer from northern California; a 
champion for the people of northern California. I had the opportunity 
to campaign for him several years ago, and I saw his love and 
appreciation of the people of northern California. He never gave up.
  I am grateful, too, for the leadership of Speaker   Mike Johnson, our 
vice chair, Blake Moore, and the different tributes that have been paid 
to Doug's service, how important it is. Then putting that in context, 
too, President Donald Trump issued a heartfelt statement of love and 
affection for our departed congressional Member.
  With that in mind, Doug LaMalfa is always going to be treasured as a 
champion for limited government, expanded freedom, and peace through 
strength.
