                       Tuesday, October 25, 2022

  Miss RICE of New York. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize 
October as Breast Cancer Awareness Month and to celebrate the 30th 
Anniversary of The Estee Lauder Companies' critical Breast Cancer 
Campaign. I am proud to join my colleagues in Congress and individuals 
around the world in recognizing those fighting breast cancer.
  Breast cancer is the most common form of cancer for women in the 
United States, with an estimated 280,000 women, as well as thousands of 
men, diagnosed with the disease each year according to the National 
Cancer Institute. With so many people around the world at risk for 
breast cancer, it is crucial to raise awareness so that the disease can 
be diagnosed and treated as early as possible.
  Through its Breast Cancer Campaign, The Estee Lauder Companies have 
made great progress towards this goal. Whether it is in funding 
lifesaving research, improving healthcare access for disadvantaged 
people, supporting patients and their families through difficult 
diagnoses, or raising the public's awareness with the pink ribbon, the 
campaign is closer to realizing a world without breast cancer.
  However, despite the significant progress over the past thirty years, 
we cannot rest until we are rid of breast cancer. That is why I am 
proud to support the ongoing work done by the Estee Lauder Companies' 
Breast Cancer Campaign. Please join me in recognizing October as Breast 
Cancer Awareness Month to further spread awareness of this disease and 
sustain those affected by it.
