  CONGRATULATIONS TO PRESIDENT-ELECT DONALD TRUMP AND VICE PRESIDENT-
                            ELECT MIKE PENCE

  (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, last Tuesday the American 
people, with optimism, elected Donald Trump and Mike Pence to lead our 
country. I congratulate President-elect Trump and our friend and former 
House colleague Vice President-elect Pence, and Karen Pence, on their 
deserved victory.
  This election clearly revealed, when presented with a choice of 
continuation of big government or change for limited government with 
expanded freedom, the American people stood up for the conservative 
values that would create jobs, lower taxes, and rebuild our military. 
The ideological conflict is alive and well, and conservative principles 
are proven to promote opportunity for all Americans. The American 
people have selected a brighter future for their children and 
grandchildren.
  I look forward to working with President-elect Trump and Vice 
President-elect Pence, partnering with Speaker Paul Ryan, to promote 
jobs for all Americans and reinforce our principles of limited 
government with expanded freedom.
  In conclusion, God bless our troops, and may the President, by his 
actions, never forget September the 11th in the global war on 
terrorism. God bless President-elect Donald Trump and Vice President-
elect Mike Pence.
