                 THE HISTORIC SOUTH CAROLINA DELEGATION

  (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 am grateful to welcome 
the four new members of the South Carolina delegation to the 112th 
Congress.
  This past election, the voters of South Carolina let their voices be 
heard. The message was loud and clear: limit spending, with the largest 
Republican South Carolina delegation in over 130 years. The voters can 
rest assured the message was heard in Washington.
  These four conservative, successful small business leaders were 
elected based on their principles. Promises to reduce spending, limit 
government, and attain fiscal responsibility will now be real 
priorities.
  The people of South Carolina will benefit the most from this dynamic 
young team. The enthusiasm they bring is energizing. Congressmen Tim 
Scott, Jeff Duncan, Trey Gowdy and Mick Mulvaney are welcome to Federal 
public service. We will work together in making this the most 
accessible and accountable delegation for the people of South Carolina.
  In conclusion, God bless our troops, and we will never forget 
September the 11th in the global war on terrorism.
