WISHING SUPREME COURT JUSTICE RUTH BADER GINSBURG A HAPPY 86TH BIRTHDAY

  (Ms. BARRAGAN asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. BARRAGAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Justice Ruth Bader 
Ginsburg and to wish her a happy 86th birthday this Friday.
  During this Women's History Month, we celebrate visionary women like 
Justice Ginsburg, whose work ethic and achievements have motivated me 
and many women across this country.
  Throughout her career, Justice Ginsburg has been a pioneer for gender 
equality. As a first-year Harvard Law student, she was one of nine 
women in a 500-person class and became the first female professor to 
have tenure at Columbia.
  She would later cofound the ACLU's Women's Rights Project, paving the 
way for groundbreaking work around issues like pregnancy and parenting, 
education equity and equal pay.
  Undoubtedly, Justice Ginsburg has set a precedent for women 
everywhere and continues to do so as a Supreme Court Justice.
  I wish Justice Ginsburg many more years of health and happiness. She 
truly is an American hero.
