                             CEDAW HEARING

  Mrs. MURRAY. Mr. President, let me thank the Senator from California, 
Mrs. Boxer, for raising the issue that today is International Women's 
Day--it is a very important day for women around the world and their 
rights--and to thank her for her work on the resolution asking the 
Foreign Relations Committee to hold a hearing on CEDAW, which is a very 
important resolution. It is time that we as a Senate hear what is 
involved and have a chance to get testimony and to possibly move 
forward on it. It would be a great step forward.
