In an attempt to secure a top committee position, Joe Wilson presents GOP lawmakers with a piece of the Berlin Wall as a gift.

A GOP lawmaker is devising a unique strategy to secure the position of House Foreign Affairs Committee chair in the upcoming year.

According to a photo provided by a source to Planet Chronicle Digital, Rep. Joe Wilson, R-S.C., is distributing chips from the Berlin Wall to his fellow lawmakers.

The inscription on the chip indicates that Wilson obtained the pieces over 35 years ago, which serves as an indirect confirmation of his extensive work in foreign affairs. The intricate display states, "This symbolizes the fall of totalitarian communism and the triumph of democratic capitalism."

On June 12, 1990, at the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin, Germany, State Senator Joe Wilson secured the chip.

Sen. Wilson returned from serving as a member of the U.S. Observation Delegation for the June 10, 1990, parliamentary elections in Bulgaria, marking the country's first free elections after 59 years of Nazi and Communist dictatorship.

The election for the House Foreign Affairs Committee chair is among the most crucial events leading up to the 119th Congress.

In 2023, when Republicans will hold all the major power in Washington, D.C., the role will be crucial in shaping U.S. relations with the rest of the world.

Reps. Ann Wagner, Darrell Issa, and Brian Mast, all Republicans, are running against Wilson for the subcommittee chair for Oversight & Accountability.

The subcommittee on the Middle East, North Africa and Central Asia is chaired by Wilson.

Michael McCaul, the current Chairman of the House Republicans, is resigning in accordance with the party's internal conference rules that limit a lawmaker to serving three terms as the head of a committee.

"As your Chairman and leader for the past six years, it has been an honor to serve you," McCaul wrote in a message obtained by Planet Chronicle Digital. "In light of the Conference's will, I will respect these rules and support new leadership."

"My time as Chairman has been the most rewarding highlight of my career in Congress. Thank you for your hard work and patriotism in addressing global challenges."
