so mrs. wilsonas very concerned that her husband would not get better if he did not have something to engage his mind, that he would just deteriorate if he was forced out of the presidency. while president wilson was ill, it has been speculated among historians that mrs. wilson essentially became the president. we have one document here that sheds a little bit of light on that. it is a telegram from henry morgan paul, the ambassador to is writing to dr. cary grayson, asking if the president has any objections to a citizens meeting to protest against turks being left in control of constantinople. enthal has been asked to speak at this meeting and he is asking permission, he does not want to embarrass the president, so he is asking for device. at the bottom of the telegram is handwriting that is edith's handwriting. we are familiar enough with her handwriting to recognize it as such. at the bottom she writes, " thinks it well to postpone speaking on such subjects." is, did edithknow take this telegram

even unhappier was mrs. wilson. they soon married for the opposite -- obvious reason that she thought they were not worthy of her husband. few years later he was teaching history and political science at wesleyan in competitive then in a few years he got the call he was secretly hoping for which was a job offer from princeton. he returned to where he took a school by storm. as he had as the undergraduate but this time the most magnetic presence not only on the campus but in this small town and increasingly in the state of new jersey. as the increasingly becomes a public figure, intellectual, writes books, lectures, traveling all over the country. he is becoming a rather favorite famous thinker. because he proved himself so indispensable after 12 years they made him president of the college. this was a shock to the president -- to the campus to before it was described as the greatest country club in all of america. and wilson wanted to change that image to the almost overnight began to reform what was best called pri

mr. wilson: to address the house for one minute. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized for one minute. mr. wilson: americans are realizing that they were being misled from obamacare. one writes, this bill is better than what the insurance companies were offering private parties. what we actually purchased is very inferior to the high deductible policy that i currently have when out of network. edward has made several attempts to enroll his family in the insurance since october. due to the faulty government-run website and the complicated nature of the law, he tried to enroll his 17-year-old daughter in a government health plan. the government's role is to protect our fellow citizens, not make tasks such as enrolling in health care more expensive or difficult. obamacare must be repealed and replaced. to create jobs and put health care decisions back in the hands of the american people. in conclusion, god bless our troops and we will never forget september 11 and the global war on terrorism. the speaker pro tempore: for

mr. wilson: mr. speaker, earlier this month i unveiled my legislative priorities for 2014 and promised the people of my counties that i would continue to advocate on behalf of the missions at the savannah river state. a department of energy facility that has experienced several setbacks as a result of the administration's confused policies on clean, nuclear energy. on friday i hosted a round table a with contractors, community leaders and locally elected officials to discuss the path forward. having all parties in the central setting gave me an opportunity to hear their concerns, thoughts and proposals for jobs. while many different priorities were discussed, everyone shares the same objective, ensure current and future missions remain in tact with a dedicated work force for environmental cleanup, nonproliferation compliance and national security. as a -- as the only member of congress who has worked there, i am confident that as we all work together for these missions, our goal will be accomplished.

mr. wilson: mr. speaker, last october a constituent living in columbia received a friletening phone call from a -- frightening phone call from a gentleman in north carolina. it appeared the constituent's security information was obtained by a stranger while enrolling for health insurance on the government health care website. the american people should not have to worry about personal information being compromised due to the government's inability to keep a website secure. had the gentleman from north carolina not contacted this south carolinaan, he may have never realized his information was being breached. obamacare is flawed and must be repealed. because the president and senate refuse to join us in these efforts, the house continues to act. tomorrow the house will vote on a bill that requires health and human services to notify individuals when their personal information is stolen or unlawfully accessed. we must continue to work to repeal obamacare by replacing it with a plan to preserve the doct

mr. wilson: this weekend, the armed forces community lost a great friend and ally resm tired lieutenant counselor john chaplain was truly a virginia gentleman, of the virginia military institute tradition. after serving our nation in uniform, john continued his passion for public service as a professional staff member of the house armed services committee, eventually becoming the lead staff member for the subcommittee on military personnel. john possessed vast and remarkable wisdom of the military. he always sought to advocate for our brave men and women, their families, and our veterans. i had the privilege of working alongside him for four years as he coordinated the annual national defense authorization act. because of his efforts, our wounded warriors, military families and victims of sexual assault have substantial protections. there's no doubt that our couldn't vi a much safer place because of john chaplain's hard work and dedication. my thoughts and prayers are with john's wife lee, his two daughters and three granddaughters during this difficult time. he will be forever appreciated. in co

mrs. wilson: the earthquake in january, 2010, claimed hundreds of thousands of lives an destroyed the livelihoods of nearly three million more people. take a moment to contemplate the enormity of this calamity. more than three quarter of the schools in the capital were rendered useless, leaving young haste haitians with little opportunity to learn and -- leaving young haitians with little opportunity to learn and no place to spend their time. people were he killed. thanks to the resolve and hard work of the haitian people as well as effective assistance from the obama administration and our international partners, haiti has started on the process of recovery. the fourth anniversary of haiti's tragedy provides an opportunity to honor those who lost their lives. and recognize the progress that's been acheed. it is also a time to reaffirm our commitment to help haiti rebound by insisting on on accountability and transparency. i yield back the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlewo

mr. wilson: mr. speaker, in 2013 we witnessed the disastrous impacts of big government. from the administration's failed rollout of obamacare destroying jobs, to the undermining of our national security by military sequestration, we know this harms our families, our economy and our safety. last week i had the opportunity to travel across south carolina's second congressional district to unveil legislative priorities for 2014. my constituents shared my concerns that congress must focus on legislation to create jobs through economic growth. we must also reduce our spending so that our children and grandchildren will not be faced with the burden of out-of-control debt. encouraging energy independence through the completion of the keystone x.l. pipeline will also create jobs in south carolina. additionally, promoting our great men and women in uniform, military families and veterans must remain at the top of our priority list. we must protect our heroes who risk their lives to protect us. in conclusion, god bless our troops and we will never forget september 11 and the globa
