MEETING THE CHALLENGE OF CHINA -- (Extensions of Remarks - October 17, 2005)

SPEECH OF
HON. JOE WILSON
OF SOUTH CAROLINA
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
MONDAY, OCTOBER 17, 2005

Last week I attended the grand opening of Carolina Ceramics Brick Company, a success story which proves U.S. companies continue to improve productivity and energy efficiency. Richland County Council Vice Chairman Greg Pearce, Sen. Joel Lourie, advertising executive Elaine Gillespie, and company President Michael Borden spoke eloquently on the new achievements verified in the below article from The State of October 12, 2005.
