                        FAREWELL TO TIA WILLIAMS

  (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, tomorrow the Second 
Congressional District of South Carolina will lose an important public 
servant. Tia Williams is departing the Washington office to be in 
graduate school at the University of Virginia where she will seek a 
master's degree in urban and environmental planning.
  Tia has served as staff assistant to the Second District since March 
2006. Many South Carolinians have come to know her, as she was vital in 
arranging tours for Palmetto State families visiting Washington.
  A native of South Congaree, Tia is the daughter of Marty and Angie 
Williams and the sister of Taylor Williams. She is a graduate of 
Clemson University and Airport High School of West Columbia.
  I appreciate Tia's dedication to the people of the Second District. I 
know she will apply the same dedication to her studies at UVA.
  In conclusion, God bless our troops, and we will never forget 
September 11. All Americans should read the Lieberman op-ed in today's 
Washington Post.
