                    COMMEMORATING THE 19TH AMENDMENT

  (Mr. STEIL asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. STEIL. Madam Speaker, today we celebrate an important moment in 
our Nation's history: 100 years ago, today, Clifford Randall, the 
Representative from the First District of Wisconsin, left his office 
like all of his colleagues in the House, walked to this very Chamber, 
and cast his vote in favor of women's suffrage.
  The 19th Amendment gave women the right to vote. Today we commemorate 
that vote.
  Wisconsin was a leader in the women's suffrage movement. In fact, 
Wisconsin was the first State to ratify the 19th Amendment.
  I am wearing a yellow rose today just as the supporters of women's 
rights did a century ago.
  As we commemorate the 19th Amendment, let's focus on how we can work 
together to support women and ensure that future generations will never 
forget that historic vote.
