  Mr. MOORE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to offer my congratulations to 
the Kansas Business and Professional Women for their upcoming 83rd 
annual state convention, which will take place from June 7th-9th in 
Topeka, Kansas. I also want to congratulate their new president, Julie 
Smith, a resident of the Third Congressional District of Kansas, for 
putting together an outstanding weekend of programs and events for her 
members.
  Among the outstanding speakers scheduled are: Coach Marian Washington 
of the University of Kansas' women's basketball team, who will serve as 
keynote speaker; motivational speaker Susan Mayer; and author Suzy 
Allegra. A candidates' forum for Kansas Attorney General candidates is 
planned, as well as a sock hop, casino night, and many opportunities 
for networking and information exchanges.
  The Kansas Business and Professional Women's organization is 
nationally associated with the American Business and Professional 
Women's Association, both of which offer outstanding networking, 
educational and support services for their membership.
