                 ENERGY PARTNERSHIPS IN 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, as I traveled across the 
Second Congressional District of South Carolina over the last 
constituent workweek, I became increasingly aware of a growing 
relationship between the Savannah River National Laboratory and one of 
their regional research universities, the University of South Carolina.
  These two entities are working together to address key national 
energy needs in nuclear, hydrogen, fuel cells, environmental science, 
advanced sensors, modular nuclear reactors, and alternative energy, in 
addition to other areas of great national interest. The two 
institutions anticipate the future formation of a joint technology 
commercialization initiative involving the Darla Moore School of 
Business at the University of South Carolina to build new technology-
based businesses and create jobs.
  I look forward to these joint collaborations with the Savannah River 
National Laboratory, and I am confident their success will be of great 
benefit to South Carolina and our Nation.
  In conclusion, God bless our troops, and we will never forget 
September the 11th in the global war on terrorism.
  Rest in peace, Medal of Honor recipient Army Master Sergeant John F. 
Baker, Jr., of Columbia, South Carolina, and Rock Island, Illinois, for 
his heroic service in Vietnam, who was buried at Arlington National 
Cemetery today.
