  VISITING WITH CONSTITUENTS OF SOUTH CAROLINA'S SECOND CONGRESSIONAL 
                                DISTRICT

  (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, yesterday I traveled 
across the Second Congressional District of South Carolina, visiting 
communities in Columbia, West Columbia, Aiken, North Augusta, Barnwell, 
Orangeburg, and Lexington to present my 2016 legislative agenda. At 
each stop, I was grateful to share my priorities with constituents and 
answer questions from the media.
  In this new legislative year, I will advance legislation to create 
jobs for American families and reduce harmful regulations that destroy 
jobs. We also must protect the economic future for our children and 
grandchildren by passing balanced budgets and reining in Washington's 
out-of-control spending, which is a crushing debt on future 
generations.
  As chairman of the House Armed Services Subcommittee on Emerging 
Threats and Capabilities, I am also focusing on promoting peace through 
strength to support our troops and keep our families safe from Islamic 
extremists in the global war on terrorism. I will also strive to 
strengthen our Nation's cyber capabilities and protect our citizens 
against cyber attacks by enemies.
  In conclusion, God bless our troops, and may the President, by his 
actions, never forget September the 11th in the global war on 
terrorism.
