                         TODAY IS A BRIGHT DAY

  (Ms. JACKSON LEE asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute.)
  Ms. JACKSON LEE. Madam Speaker, I stand to refute with a spirit of 
joy this morning one of my friends on the other side who called this 
day a ``black day.''
  I wonder what that interpretation means, but I see a sense of great 
future for America. And I wonder how many of the 3- and 4-year-olds in 
the future will wind up in the Office of the President of the United 
States because we in America and we as Democrats gave them an early 
head start.
  If any of my colleagues have ever visited childcare and pre-K and 
seen the brightness of our children, they know that what Democrats are 
doing today creates not a blackness but a brightness.
  Today is going to be a bright day in America as Democrats govern and 
lead and make a difference in this Nation and in this world. I am glad 
to stand with the American people and families as we create for them a 
very bright day.
