TAKE OUR DAUGHTERS AND SONS TO WORK DAY
Ms. LANDRIEU. As a wonderful Senator from New Mexico, and also as a
father of many girls and a grandfather, I
[[Page S4281]]
know the Senator can appreciate the day we are celebrating today, which
is Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Day. We have literally hundreds
of young people who are in the Chamber today. They have been around the
Senate and the House celebrating this very special day, seeing their
parents at work in the Senate and in the Capitol, not only as elected
officials but as the staffers and support staff.
I have 20 young ladies with me today, nieces and friends from
Louisiana, from Alabama, and from the Washington area. I am going to
submit all of their names for the Record to show that they spent a day
working in the Senate with me and with some of the other Senators and
have seen firsthand the work that goes on.
I want to acknowledge MS Magazine Foundation that started Take Our
Daughters and Sons to Work Day to thank them for organizing this effort
where there are thousands, maybe perhaps millions, of young people who
have taken a day out of their school work to go to the various places
where Americans are working to contribute to making this country of
ours a better country and this world a better place.
As we celebrate Earth Day today, which is also very important as we
focus on the environment, I wanted to acknowledge this day. I thank my
friend from New Mexico for giving me this time and I ask unanimous
consent to have printed in the Record the names of these young ladies
and thank them for being a part of this special day and taking their
time to come and learn about the workings of the Senate.
