                        Thursday, March 8, 2018

  Mr. CORREA. Mr. Speaker, the month of March celebrates Women's 
History Month. As a proud father, I am honored to recognize Latinas 
this month and believe in the importance of investing in the next 
generation of Latinas.
  One in six women in the United States is a Latina. There are 
currently over 27 million Latina women living in the United States. 
Latinas are vital contributing members of our American society through 
their work in business, education, science and technology, engineering, 
mathematics, literature and the arts, the military, and public service 
at all levels of government.
  As we celebrate Women's History Month, let's honor Latina women and 
their history. Therefore, today, I am introducing a resolution on 
International Women's Day, March 8, 2018, that celebrates the heritage, 
culture, and contributions of Latinas in the United States.
