                               speech of

                        HON. PATRICIA SCHROEDER

                              of colorado

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, August 2, 1995

       The House in Committee of the Whole House on the State of 
     the Union had under consideration the bill (H.R. 2127) making 
     appropriations for the Departments of Labor, Health and Human 
     Services, and Education, and related agencies, for the fiscal 
     year ending September 30, 1996, and for other purposes:

  Mrs. SCHROEDER. Mr. Chairman, it is an outrage this issue is even 
being discussed. It shows how far backward the Republicans are willing 
to push women. It winks at rape and incest victims, saying too bad. To 
say in 1995 that rape and incest victims are at the mercy of where they 
happen to live. They have to be very careful where they live if they 
think they'll be raped. This is ludicrous.
