                     BREAST CANCER AWARENESS MONTH

  (Mr. GUEST asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. GUEST. Madam Speaker, October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, a 
time to call attention to this deadly disease, to recognize the 
advancement our Nation has made in the battle against breast cancer, 
and to spread information about the fight to save the lives of those 
impacted.
  It is estimated that more than 275,000 new cases of breast cancer 
will be diagnosed this year. For this reason, it is vital that those at 
risk take proper steps to reduce their risk for this disease.
  Our medical personnel have made great progress in our fight to cure 
breast cancer, but we must continue to do more.
  Madam Speaker, I hope everybody will join me this month in spreading 
awareness about breast cancer, comforting those who have been impacted 
or are fighting cancer right now, and thanking our medical personnel 
for their dedication to treat and cure this deadly disease.
