               COMMENDING THE WORK OF HOUSE CONSERVATIVES

  (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 House 
engaged in an important debate regarding the transparency and 
accountability of Member project requests. As Democrat leaders sought 
to earmark taxpayer dollars in the dark of night, and away from public 
scrutiny, House Republicans took them to task, demanding the reforms we 
past last year be upheld.
  I am grateful for the work of my colleagues on the Republican Study 
Committee who are committed to returning our party to its roots of 
fiscal discipline. Budget Committee ranking member Paul Ryan has worked 
tirelessly in his fight against the Democrat budget, which amounts to 
the largest tax increase in American history.
  RSC chairman Jeb Hensarling and his staff are working night and day 
literally to promote conservative philosophy. I am especially thankful 
for the work of communications director Brad Dayspring, who works some 
of the longest hours on Capitol Hill to accomplish this goal.
  In conclusion, God bless our troops and we will never forget 
September 11th.
