                              LINKS, INC.

  (Mrs. BEATTY asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Mrs. BEATTY. Madam Speaker, I rise today to join with others across 
the Nation to ask Congress to pass the Voting Rights Amendment Act.
  I had the distinct pleasure to join near our Capitol last week with 
some 3,000 members of Links, Incorporated, at the national assembly and 
with the 15th national president and chair of KeyBank, Margot James 
Copeland, and with the national legislative chair and OhioHealth's 
president, Karen Morrison, of their foundation to lead a resolution to 
support the Voting Rights Act of America.
  Links members proudly voted in support of a resolution, calling on 
Congress to pass the Voting Rights Amendment Act, H.R. 3899.
  Martin Luther King, Jr., said:

       Our feet are tired, but our souls are rested. Let us say 
     the same of ourselves as we continue the unfinished work of 
     ensuring that every American cannot only vote, but has the 
     freedom, the justice, and the dignity that all individuals 
     rightly deserve.

  Let us join together as Democrats and Republicans and pass the Voting 
Rights Act.
