                CONGRATULATIONS TO GOVERNOR NIKKI HALEY

  (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, President-elect Donald 
Trump nominated South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley to be America's 
Ambassador to the United Nations.
  President-elect Trump has announced:

       Governor Haley has a proven record of bringing people 
     together regardless of background or party affiliation to 
     move critical policies forward for the betterment of her 
     State and country. She is also a proven dealmaker, and we 
     look forward to making plenty of deals. She will be a great 
     leader representing us on the world stage.

  Governor Haley has led the people of South Carolina through trying 
times, such as the historic thousand-year flood last year, Hurricane 
Matthew flooding this year, and the tragic shooting at Mother Emanuel 
Church in Charleston. She has promoted a pro-business and pro-job 
environment by recruiting major companies such as Boeing and Volvo, 
along with Michelin, BMW, and Bridgestone expansions. Governor Haley 
will be a strong and effective voice for America, advancing freedom and 
democracy around the world.
  Congratulations to Governor Haley and her husband, Michael, and 
children, Rena and Nalin, on this achievement. Your Lexington County 
neighbors are very proud of you.
  In conclusion, God bless our troops, and may the President, by his 
actions, never forget September the 11th in the global war on 
terrorism.
