                   THINGS MUST LOOK RIGHT TO BE RIGHT

  (Mr. AL GREEN of Texas asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. AL GREEN of Texas. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to speak in support 
of the rights of women. I do this, Mr. Speaker, because we live in a 
world where it's not enough for things to be right. They must also look 
right. And it doesn't look right for us to conduct a hearing dealing 
with the rights of women and not, N-O-T, and not have a woman on the 
panel. We would not dare conduct such a hearing discussing the rights 
of men and not, N-O-T, not have a man on the panel.
  It is not enough for things to be right. They must also look right. 
Some may argue that was right. I will always argue that it was not, and 
that it did not look right.
  We must make the adjustments so that women can make decisions about 
their rights.
