              BERNARD BARUCH, STATESMAN OF SOUTH CAROLINA

  (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, Bernard Baruch was born 
near Columbia in historic Camden, South Carolina. The world-acclaimed 
financier and benefactor was an adviser to Presidents since the days of 
Woodrow Wilson, who also was raised in Columbia.
  Last week, April 16, marked the day in 1947 that Bernard Baruch made 
history when he coined the term ``Cold War'' to describe the relations 
between the United States and the Soviet Union.
  As the Politico newspaper highlighted, Baruch first used the phrase 
in a speech to the South Carolina House of Representatives as a 
portrait was dedicated in his honor. In his speech, Baruch said, ``Let 
us not be deceived. We today are in the midst of a cold war. Our 
enemies are to be found abroad and at home. Let us never forget this: 
our unrest is the heart of their success. The peace of the world is the 
hope and goal of our political system; it is the despair and defeat of 
those who stand against us. We can depend only on ourselves.''
  Today we remember the South Carolina statesman who so aptly described 
the chilly relations between America and the Soviet Union, which led 
ultimately to the victory of democracy over Communism.
  In conclusion, God bless our troops and we will never forget 
September 11th in the Global War on Terrorism.
  Congratulations, Jim Furyk on your Heritage Golf Classic victory at 
Hilton Head Island.
