                    YOUNG WOMEN'S LEADERSHIP PROGRAM

  (Ms. McSALLY asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. McSALLY. Mr. Speaker, with education and opportunity, women can 
transform a society. This is true all around the world, but especially 
in America, where women still have untapped potential.
  As a society, we must do a better job of showing girls they can be 
whatever they want to be and making sure they have the opportunity to 
achieve their fullest potential.
  That is why, on June 11, my office will hold southern Arizona's first 
ever Congressional Young Women's Leadership Program. This one-day event 
provides young women currently in high school with the opportunity to 
meet and interact with successful women from southern Arizona who hold 
leadership roles in a variety of fields.
  Quite simply, this program is about encouraging young women to be 
fearless, dream big, and let nothing stand in their way.
  The deadline for applications, which can be found on my Web site, 
mcsallyhouse.gov, is May 9.
  I encourage high school girls throughout the Second Congressional 
District to take advantage of this unique opportunity and apply at my 
Web site.
