                 SOUTH CAROLINA IS A PRO-BUSINESS STATE

  (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, recently Chief Executive 
Magazine and the United National Movers Study confirmed what we already 
knew firsthand: South Carolina is a great place to live and work.
  South Carolina is ranked seventh in the Nation as one of the best 
States for doing business, up three spots in the past year according to 
Chief Executive Magazine.
  Our dynamic citizens, probusiness environment, and right-to-work laws 
create jobs. South Carolina is already home to BMW of Germany, Volvo of 
Sweden, Michelin of France, Bridgestone of Japan, Boeing, and many 
more.
  In addition to creating jobs, more people are moving to South 
Carolina, according to data from the United National Movers Study. Our 
strong job market, excellent climate, and friendly citizens give South 
Carolina the second highest rate among States of individuals moving to 
the State.
  I am grateful to Governor Nikki Haley, Secretary of Commerce Bobby 
Hitt, and all of the economic development groups who are working 
tirelessly to bring jobs to South Carolina with technical training.
  In conclusion, God bless our troops, and may the President by his 
actions never forget September the 11th in the global war on terrorism.
