                 STAMP OUT THE REPUBLICAN WAR ON WOMEN

  (Mrs. SCHROEDER asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Mrs. SCHROEDER. Madam Speaker, this August 26, we have this wonderful 
stamp coming out, celebrating women having had the right to vote for 75 
years. In November 1996, you are going to watch women use that vote. 
They are also going to be using this stamp, I think, to try and stamp 
out the Republican war on women.
  I think women are not only angry about the actions against them in 
this Congress, they are angry about the attitudes that the Republicans 
have had against them in this Congress as seen by the vote yesterday in 
the other body.

                              {time}  1020

  That is all very, very sad, and it is very difficult today to 
celebrate the only victory, the only victory women have had this entire 
time, and that was saving a 25-year-old program started by Richard 
Nixon and George Bush that last time got two-thirds of this body and 
this time barely snuck through. That is outrageous.
  Our foremothers would want us to fight back, and we will.
