                        COURAGEOUS NFIB LAWSUIT

  (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, I applaud the National 
Federation of Independent Business, better known as NFIB, for standing 
up for small businesses in the State of South Carolina, like OCS Doors 
of Beaufort, led by Jay Halloway, and the Sunset Grill of West 
Columbia, established by Betty Jackson. Employees at small businesses 
like these all across America are concerned about the impact of the 
job-killing mandates of the government health care takeover. The NFIB 
estimates the takeover will kill 1.6 million jobs. The NFIB stood up 
for small business employees last week when they joined 20 States, 
including South Carolina, in a lawsuit to overturn this government 
monstrosity. There are health care alternatives that Congress should 
consider, like the SWAP Act, which continues to cover preexisting 
conditions but will repeal the tax hikes and unaffordable mandates on 
individuals and small business owners.
  In conclusion, God bless our troops, and we will never forget 
September 11th in the Global War on Terrorism.
