                     SOUTH CAROLINA POLICY COUNCIL

  (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, last week, the visionary 
Grover Norquist, President of Americans for Tax Reform, honored the 
South Carolina Policy Council with the rare and prestigious Dragon 
Slayer Award. President Edward T. McMullen, Jr., received a symbolic 
sword for the Council's efforts in fighting tax increases in South 
Carolina.
  Since 1986, the South Carolina Policy Council has educated South 
Carolina's legislature and citizens about State and local public policy 
based on the traditional values of individual liberty and 
responsibility, free enterprise, and limited government.
  In addition to President McMullen, I would like to give a special 
thanks to the dedicated staff of Administrative Assistant Marion 
Harsey, Vice President for Development India Hazzard; Vice President 
for Public Affairs Ashley Landess; Vice President for Policy Gerry 
Dickenson; Chairman of the Board Jake Rasor; and the courageous analyst 
Hal Eberle.
  The Palmetto State is truly blessed to have such talented people 
working on public policy, and I ask all of my colleagues to join me in 
thanking the South Carolina Policy Council for their vital service.
  In conclusion, God bless our troops, September 11, and the current 
December 7.
