                       CONGRATULATIONS, ERIC DELL

  (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 for the 
opportunity to recognize Eric Dell, chief of staff for the Second 
District of South Carolina. Eric has accepted to serve as senior vice 
president for the National Automatic Merchandising Association. This is 
a tremendous vote of confidence in his competence, dedication, and 
integrity.
  There are no words to express the amount of appreciation I have had 
for Eric and for his service to South Carolina's Second Congressional 
District over the last 11 years. Throughout my years in public service, 
whether it be deciding to run for office, serving in the South Carolina 
Senate, or representing constituents in Congress, I can always count on 
Eric to offer his support to me, my family, or any constituent in need. 
He is devoted to serving the people of South Carolina.
  It is with mixed feelings but with great happiness that I bid Eric 
farewell. He and his wife, Torry, will always be cherished by me and my 
wife, Roxanne, and our sons for their friendship. Godspeed.
  Happy anniversary to my wife, Roxanne--the love of my life--whom I 
married 35 years ago this moment at Columbia's First Presbyterian 
Church in a ceremony conducted by the Reverend Dr. Hugh McClure.
  In conclusion, God bless our troops, and we will never forget 
September the 11th in the global war on terrorism.
