                         ANNUAL AUGUST BUS TOUR

  (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, each August, I look 
forward to an annual district bus tour, where I travel across all five 
counties of the Second Congressional District. During this time, I meet 
with constituents and hear their opinions about issues important to the 
families in South Carolina, along with my wife, Roxanne, and dedicated 
staff.
  This year, I was grateful to visit nearly 20 businesses, schools, 
civic clubs, and chambers of commerce. At each location, I took the 
opportunity to thank employees for their service and thank employers 
for their work creating jobs. I also took the opportunity to present 
Speaker Paul Ryan's positive policy agenda, ``A Better Way,'' that 
presents positive proposals for some of the greatest challenges facing 
our country.
  When I was elected to Congress, I pledged to be accessible and 
accountable, and this bus tour is one of many ways that I fulfill this 
promise. While I regularly visit with families, schools, and businesses 
in the Second District, I especially appreciate the nonstop tradition 
of visiting with the community I am humbled and inspired to represent.
  In conclusion, God bless our troops, and may the President, by his 
actions,
