                   HONORING THE RADIANT RAYS PROGRAM

  (Mr. DAVIS of North Carolina asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. DAVIS of North Carolina. Madam Speaker, I rise today on behalf of 
eastern North Carolina.
  Today begins the start of Women's History Month. And I would take 
this time to acknowledge a group of young women who represent the best 
of eastern North Carolina.
  During my Live the Dream Down East tour, I had the pleasure of 
visiting the Radiant Rays program at the Center for Energy Education in 
Roanoke Rapids.
  The program allows students to visit colleges and corporate renewable 
industries while working with teachers and industry professionals to 
extend knowledge beyond classroom walls.
  I was honored to spend time with the students of this program who 
emphasized why representation matters.
  Madam Speaker, we must do all that we can to empower young women and 
girls to pursue STEM-related career paths. I will continue fighting to 
ensure the next generation of women, like our Radiant Rays, have the 
tools they need to thrive in the East.
