                       PEOPLE MAKING A DIFFERENCE

  (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. In South Carolina last week, I met with 
people making a difference promoting jobs by visiting the OneStop 
employment centers across the district. I visited the directors and 
staff, desk to desk, in Columbia, Lexington, Aiken, Barnwell, 
Orangeburg, Hampton, Ridgeland, and Beaufort. I want to thank the 
energetic, optimistic, and talented employees and commissioners of the 
Employment Security Commission for their dedication to helping put 
people back to work.
  Another economic development is being announced for South Carolina 
today. The Estill Correctional Facility is adding 50 more jobs with a

contract with Ameresco. We welcome the recent economic commitments to 
our State from Four Star Industries, Boeing, DHL, Scotsman Ice, Dixie 
Narco, Ameresco at SRS, and now Estill Correctional Facility. The 
combination of low taxes, worker training, right-to-work protections, 
and less regulatory redtape is a sound recipe to attract business. This 
commonsense approach should be applied at the national level.
  In conclusion, God bless our troops, and we will never forget 
September the 11th in the global war on terrorism.
