                          LEADERSHIP ELECTIONS

  (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. Madam Speaker, on November 2nd, the 
American people amplified their voices to command a new way forward. 
They were tired of lawmakers strangling them with Big Government 
regulations instead of creating much-needed jobs, and they were tired 
of excessive borrowing and spending.
  Yesterday, the Republican Conference listened to the concerns of 
Americans and selected leaders who will transform the way business is 
done in Washington. I believe our team, led by John Boehner and Eric 
Cantor, will curb spending, create jobs, and promote opportunities to 
keep money in the pockets of hardworking taxpayers.
  I was particularly thrilled with the election of South Carolina's Tim 
Scott--from my birthplace of Charleston--to the leadership team. 
Congressman-elect Scott's business background and proven record of 
bringing jobs to South Carolina is a great addition to the new 
Republican leadership. I look forward to working with him to promote 
limited government and expanded freedom.
  In conclusion, God bless our troops, and we will never forget 
September 11th in the global war on terrorism.
