                        Thursday, June 18, 2015

  Ms. ESTY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the month of 
Ramadan, which begins tonight at sundown for Muslims in Connecticut and 
around the world.
  I offer my support for those marking the holiday. For Muslims 
worldwide, this month of fasting is a time for prayer, reflection, and 
charitable work.
  With the constant cycle of violence plaguing our country and the 
world, let us all take this time to recommit ourselves to work together 
for equality and peace on earth.
  Ramadan Mubarak to all observing the holiday.
