             MEN, WOMEN, AND CHILDREN SHOULD MARCH TOGETHER

  (Mrs. SCHROEDER asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks and include 
extraneous material.)
  Mrs. SCHROEDER. Mr. Speaker, we are told that a million men will be 
marching on Monday in this city, and we are told that the march is to 
strengthen and rebuild families, but where are the families? They are 
to be at home. This is to be a sex-related march with no women. It is 
to be an age-related march with no children.
  I think, Mr. Speaker, men professing to celebrate family in a family 
free zone makes no sense. If women went off to spas saying they were 
rebuilding themselves to celebrate family, they would be attacked. The 
way we need to celebrate and build America's families is shoulder to 
shoulder and marching together.
  I certainly hope the organizers rethink and make this an inclusive 
march of men, women, and children, marching together to rebuild the 
family structure of America that is so desperately in need of 
rebuilding.
