  Ms. ESHOO. Mr. Speaker, I rise today during National Women's History 
Month to salute the remarkable women of California's 14th Congressional 
District who have been entrusted with the honor and sacred duty of 
educating our youth.
  This year, as we celebrate the 75th anniversary of women's suffrage, 
it is fitting that we honor the women who devote their time and talents 
to preserving and enhancing our public education system. The efforts 
and public service of these remarkable women provide our district with 
extraordinary leadership, and our excellent school systems benefit from 
their unique ideas and skills. While we take time during this month to 
commemorate historic women and their achievements, we also take this 
opportunity to honor the contributions women in education are currently 
making to our communities.
  The 14th Congressional District's distinguished women elected 
officials in education are: Boardmember Helen Hausman of the San Mateo
