                       100TH BIRTHDAY FOR BOEING

  (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, on July 15, the Boeing 
Company will mark their 100th birthday, a remarkable achievement for 
its employees, subcontractors, and entire community. Boeing opened 
facilities in North Charleston, South Carolina, creating over 8,000 
jobs directly and giving back to the community as a partner, such as 
sponsoring the Heritage Golf Classic at Hilton Head Island.
  The impact of Boeing extends beyond their facility. Many of their 
subcontractors are located in the Second Congressional District, 
including Zeus of Orangeburg and Aiken, Prysmian of Lexington, Thermal 
Engineering of Columbia, and AGY of Aiken. Governor Nikki Haley and the 
General Assembly, led by House Speaker Jay Lucas and Senate President 
Hugh Leatherman, have recognized the important milestone by proclaiming 
June 1 as Boeing Impact Day across South Carolina.
  Congratulations to the chairman, president, and CEO of the Boeing 
Company, Dennis Muilenburg; vice chairman Raymond Conner; and the 
executive vice president, Leanne Caret. Thank you to all of the many 
dedicated team members of Boeing South Carolina, especially the newly 
selected vice president, Joan Robinson-Berry, and Beverly Wyse, who 
leads the Shared Services Group. Best wishes for your continued success 
creating jobs.
  In conclusion, God bless our troops and may the President, by his 
actions, never forget September the 11th in the global war on 
terrorism. Today, more Islamic terrorist murders in Paris.
