                         WOMEN'S HISTORY MONTH

  (Mr. GINGREY asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. GINGREY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in honor of Women's History 
Month.
  As we remember the great women of past generations, we must also 
salute those women who are serving as role models and leaders today.
  One such woman is Tammy Cohen of Marietta, Georgia, my district. 
Tammy is cofounder and president of InfoMart, and under her guidance, 
InfoMart has grown from a small startup business to the largest female-
owned background checking company in the world.
  Mr. Speaker, Tammy's success as a female entrepreneur is inspiring, 
and while she is deeply respected for her business know-how, she is 
equally praised for her compassion and willingness to help.
  When Hurricane Katrina struck the gulf coast last year, Tammy led a 
group of InfoMart employees who rented vans, gathered supplies and 
drove to New Orleans to rescue 15 children and 20 caretakers from a 
boys' home in Louisiana. Tammy then worked with community groups and 
local businesses in Marietta to house, feed and clothe these hurricane 
victims.
  Mr. Speaker, during Women's History Month, it is important to honor 
those women who are making a difference in the lives of others. Tammy 
Cohen is undoubtedly one of these women.
  I ask my colleagues to join me in celebrating her accomplishments.
