                         NATIONAL WEAR RED DAY

  (Mr. McCOTTER asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. McCOTTER. Mr. Speaker, today, February 3, is the American Heart 
Association's National Wear Red Day, which encourages people to help 
raise awareness and join the fight against heart disease, which is the 
leading killer of women.
  Now, I understand most men don't own a red suit unless, of course, 
you were keyboardist in an eighties hair band. But we all have shirts; 
we all have ties, accessories, and lapels by which we can show our 
support and ``Go Red for Women.''

[[Page H444]]

  As sons, husbands, fathers, and friends, we can do no less for the 
women we owe everything, for the women we love, for the women whose 
loss would empty our hearts.
  Mr. Speaker, I encourage every American, Go Red.
