On the recordFebruary 7, 1996
on January 24, 1996, my able colleague from South Carolina, Floyd Spence, the chairman of the House National Security Committee, received the 1996 Minuteman of the Year Award from the Reserve Officers Association of the United States. He is most deserving of this high honor. Throughout the 25 years that Floyd Spence has served in the House of Representatives, he has been a strong advocate for ensuring that our Nation's defense capabilities are second to none, and he has demonstrated great leadership ability as the chairman of the House National Security Committee in the 104th Congress. Floyd Spence is a man of character and integrity, and it is a privilege to work with him. He is truly dedicated to the freedoms that we as Americans hold so dear.
