                       IN MEMORY OF BETTY EASLER

  (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, this afternoon the people 
of South Carolina honor the late Betty Easler with a memorial service 
at Asbury Memorial United Methodist Church in Columbia.
  Betty was a graduate of Dreher High School, and she received 
undergraduate and masters degrees at the University of South Carolina.
  Betty selflessly and tirelessly advocated for persons with 
disabilities and special needs and their families. She served as a 
counselor at the Department of Vocational Rehabilitation. She

was executive director of the office of the Governor's Development 
Disabilities Council for Governor Carroll A. Campbell.
  Betty was executive director of Protection and Advocacy for People 
with Disabilities and was employed as case manager for Intracorp, a 
division of Cigna Insurance Company.
  All of this was achieved although she was born with spina bifida and 
was for a lifetime in a wheelchair.
  In conclusion, God bless our troops. And we will never forget 
September 11.
