                      RECOGNIZING WOMEN IN HISTORY

                                 ______


                           HON. DEAN A. GALLO

                             of new jersey

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, February 22, 1994

  Mr. GALLO. Mr. Speaker, as March approaches we look forward to 
celebrating Women's History Month. Many of our constituents capture 
American women in history through various channels of literature.
  Women have not always been recognized to potential in the public eye. 
As the 21st century approaches and the dawn of a new generation of 
women heroes is born we must recognize those who have made it happen 
and those who have provided us with their story.
  In an effort of recognition for women in the expanding realm of past 
and future let us remember and support the individuals that made it 
happen. Women in aviation have long been an important part of this 
frontier.
  A constituent of mine, Henry Holden, of Randolph, has published and 
authored books on women in aviation. This is an area that is long 
overdue for recognition. The voice he provides for American women in 
flight, educates and entertains us with the experiences and 
achievements of those not readily noticed.
  The expansion of female roles in flight range from test pilots to 
engineers, airline professionals, teachers, authors, and most recently 
the part women played in piloting aircraft in Desert Storm. This 
expansion is an inspiration for all young women and men.
  Henry Holden, publisher, author, and historian on aviation, provides 
the public with a reference of women in the United States. These women 
have been the pathfinders for equal status, treatment, and place in the 
history of humankind.
  Mr. Speaker, the commemoration of Women's History Month, must be a 
recognition for all women past, present, and future, and I ask my 
colleagues to join me in recognizing individuals who record the many 
good works of our heroes as role models for today's young people.
