mrs. wilson: boko haram has murdered more people than isis this means boko haram attacks are more lethal and more devastating than anything we have seen in the history of modern terrorism. mr. speaker, boko haram in january attack was the second deadliest attack in modern history after 9/11. an organization capable of this level of death and destruction must be eradicated. i urge congress to pass my bill, h r. 3833, which would require the u.s. government to develop a regional strategy to assist nigeria in defeating boko haram. please continue to tweet, tweet, tweet, #bringbackourgirls and remember to wear something red tomorrow, wednesday, a tie, a pin, a flower, just wear something red and tweet, tweet, tweet. #bringbackourgirls. #joinrepwilson. tweet, tweet, tweet. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlewoman's time has expired. for what purpose does the gentlewoman from texas seek recognition? ms. jackson lee: i ask unanimous con sent to address the house for one minute. the speaker pro tempore:

mr. wilson, you've indicated in your testimony that small and independent brewers are concerned about theoposed merged company's ability to engage in anticompetitive conduct, please give us some more specifics than you've expressed about your concerns with the proposed merged companies ownership of multibrand beer distributors in some states and how that could impact market access. >> certainly. so, we've had situations where craft brands have been pushed out of the the example i gave earlier. if i were to skooch on over to washington state in the seattle market, what we've seen are some questionable tactics. one, craft brewerieses being squeezed out of those distributorships. asw had a really vibrant craft portfolio prior to the purchase and now, that's been almost completely diminished as i understand it. one of the things that we've seen happen, there's no problem with buying paid advertisement with the say the football stadium in seattle. but there's terminology that i guess is left for somebody at a higher pay grade for me to determine what that mean, but no undue influence and so th

mr. wilson: mr. speaker, last saturday marked the fifth annual small business saturday. a day when we recognize the importance of local businesses by shopping at these community businesses. saturday's event was particularly meaningful to small businesses in south carolina, many of which were recovering from the tragic 1,000-year flood in october. in south carolina over half of our state's work force is employed by small business. congress must do more to protect these vital job creators from excessive taxes and regulations. i am grateful to the national federation of independent business, nfib, along with the u.s. chamber of commerce, encouraged by the south carolina chamber of commerce, led by ted pitts, as well as cal chambers in lexington, greater aiken, orangeburg, and others for their support of small business across the second district of south carolina. in conclusion, god bless our troops and may the president by his actions never forget september 11 and the global war on terrorism. the speaker pro tempore: the time of the gentleman has expired. for what purpose d

mr. wilson: mr. speaker, it is sad to me that it took the president five days to identify the attack in san bernardino as terrorism. after i heard the tragic news last wednesday, i knew in five seconds it was a terrorist attack. the president needs to revisit the 9/11 memorial in new york city which clearly establishes the guideline and timeline of the global war on terrorism. he can see copies of fatwas by islamic extremists, declaring war on modern civilization dated in 1996. the war has never stopped. the second amendment's right to bear arms has never been more important for citizens to protect their families. the thought that gun control can stop terrorism is a diversion from the real threats. this was revealed by the mass murders in paris despite french strict gun control. in the past weeks, the terrorist mass murders have been horrifying of lebanese, russians, and french, along with americans in iraq, israel, paris and san bernardino of muslims, christians, and jues, the president should chang
