NATIONAL WOMEN IN AEROSPACE DAY
(Mrs. FOUSHEE asked and was given permission to address the House for
1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
Mrs. FOUSHEE. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize a bipartisan effort to
designate today, May 20, as National Women in Aerospace Day, honoring
the extraordinary women whose talent, courage, and innovation have
shaped America's leadership in aviation and space exploration.
May 20 marks the anniversary of Amelia Earhart's solo historic
transatlantic flight, a defining moment that inspired generations of
women to pursue careers once thought beyond reach.
From the engineers and scientists behind America's greatest
achievements to astronauts leading the next era of exploration, women
have long since been essential to the success of our aerospace
enterprise.
This resolution recognizes not only the women who made history but
also the young women and girls who will shape the future of aerospace
innovation and discovery.
As ranking member of the House Science, Space, and Technology
Subcommittee on Space and Aeronautics, I am proud to help lead this
bipartisan resolution, and I urge my colleagues to join me in
celebrating the remarkable contributions of women in aerospace.
