                   IN RECOGNITION OF EMILY LAWRIMORE

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. JOE WILSON

                           of south carolina

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, July 13, 2006

  Mr. WILSON of South Carolina. Mr. Speaker, with the continuity of a 
Congressional session, there is a normal shuffling of staff positions. 
Today, it is with mixed emotions that I announce the departure of Emily 
Lawrimore.
  For the past year and a half, Emily has held one of the most 
difficult jobs on Capitol Hill--serving as the Communications Director 
for the Second Congressional District. Emily has handled her position 
with professionalism, grace, and integrity. Her dedication and work 
ethic will be difficult to replace.
  Emily began her career in Washington as a member of Congressman 
Charlie Norwood's staff. She leaves the halls of Congress tomorrow to 
become Assistant Press Secretary for President George W. Bush. I am 
confident that Emily will be a welcome addition to the President's 
press office.
  A graduate of Clemson University, Emily Lawrimore is one of two 
children of Marshall and Cindy Lawrimore of Columbus, Georgia. She is a 
credit to the people of South Carolina and Georgia, and I wish her 
Godspeed.
  In conclusion, God bless our troops and we will never forget 
September 11.
