                 HONORING THE WOMEN OF TOMORROW PROGRAM

  (Ms. ROS-LEHTINEN asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. ROS-LEHTINEN. Mr. Speaker, I rise to congratulate the Women of 
Tomorrow program, a mentoring and scholarship program for high school-
age girls.
  News anchor, Jennifer Valoppi, and Don Browne, president and general 
manager of NBC 6, co-founded this organization which successfully 
outreaches to young women wishing to further their educational and 
career goals.
  Today, Women of Tomorrow mentors low-income, at-risk girls in almost 
every public school in Miami-Dade and Broward counties. This Saturday, 
NBC 6, Ocean Drive Magazine, and Jennifer Valoppi are hosting a benefit 
to further the work of Women of Tomorrow and to honor the assistance of 
Don and Marie Browne, Marita Srebnick and George Feldenkreis, Jerry and 
Sandi Powers, and State Attorney Kathy Fernandez-Rundle.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask that my colleagues join me in congratulating Women 
of Tomorrow for touching the lives of so many young girls and making 
significant contributions to the promise of tomorrow.
