       RECOGNIZING JEANNETTE RANKIN ON INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S DAY

  (Mr. ROSENDALE asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute.)
  Mr. ROSENDALE. Mr. Speaker, on this international day of women, I 
remind everyone that the first Member of this body who was a woman was 
Jeannette Rankin.
  She was elected from the State of Montana in 1916 and again in 1940. 
She served us well; she served us admirably.
  Mr. Speaker, I wanted to remind everyone that my colleagues on the 
other side of the aisle do not have a monopoly on having women 
represent them.
