                      RECOGNIZING EMILY LAWRIMORE

  (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, 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 
in the office of the Second Congressional District of South Carolina.
  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 staff member of Congressman 
Charlie Norwood. She left the halls of Congress last Friday 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.
  As 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.
