                 WOMEN'S CAUCUS MEETS WITH IRAQI WOMEN

  (Ms. GINNY BROWN-WAITE of Florida asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. GINNY BROWN-WAITE of Florida. Mr. Speaker, I would like the 
Members of Congress to recognize the fact we have some visitors from 
Iraq, some Iraqi women who are here to learn how to put together a 
Constitution for Iraq. These are women who have been involved in the 
government, very, very brave women. The Women's Caucus met with them 
today and pledged our full support to a free and democratic Iraq, and 
one that we can all be proud of in the future and that certainly will 
reflect the great work that our military has done to help create a 
democracy in Iraq.
  We ended our meeting with lifting glasses of water and toasting to 
democracy.
