                    in the house of representatives

                        Tuesday, March 29, 2022

  Ms. SPEIER. Madam Speaker, I strongly support passage of S. 3294, 
legislation to obtain and place statues in the Capitol or Capitol 
grounds of Justice Sandra Day O'Connor and Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, 
the first two women to serve as associate justices of the Supreme Court 
of the United States. I would have voted in favor of this legislation; 
however, I was regretfully unable to be present on the floor because I 
was attending and asking questions at a hearing of the House Permanent 
Select Committee on Intelligence. I offer my congratulations to the 
family and friends of Justice O'Connor and Justice Ginsburg and my 
gratitude that these statues will provide inspiration to millions of 
Americans upon visiting their Capitol for decades to come.
