                      JOB NUMBERS GROW UNDER 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, President Donald Trump 
has a proven agenda of tax cuts, deregulation, energy dominance, and 
more. An immediate benefit is creating jobs.
  The Department of Labor announced 178,000 new jobs in March, nearly 
triple the number forecast, a powerful confirmation of the Trump pro-
growth agenda.
  Most positively affected is manufacturing, the first growth in that 
area in 3 years, and also the construction industry, expanded by gains 
in specialty trades and residential homebuilding.
  Yesterday, the Scout Motor Company with President Scott Keogh 
dedicated a phenomenal training facility with readySC and technical 
colleges in Blythewood, South Carolina, beginning the hiring of 4,000 
skilled workers. Blythewood is now home of Scout.
  In conclusion, God bless our troops. As the global war on terrorism 
continues, Trump is reinstituting peace through strength revealing war 
criminal Putin's lies, insulting and mocking Trump as war criminal 
Putin provides targeting information to Iran to kill Americans.
  Our sympathy upon the death of the American patriot Jerry Bellune of 
Lexington, South Carolina, a fair and honest journalist.
