                TAKE OUR DAUGHTERS AND SONS TO WORK DAY

  Ms. LANDRIEU. Madam President, I am so pleased to come to the floor 
this morning to acknowledge that in the Capitol today there are 17 
young women from Louisiana, Florida, New York, and Washington who are 
my special guests for Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Day, which is 
today. I will submit their names for the Record to show that these 
young men and women have spent the day working with me in the Senate.
  I also wish to acknowledge the Ms. Foundation that created such an 
exciting, popular, very effective, and useful day for our country to 
celebrate, almost 17 years ago to this day, this effort where thousands 
of young people, perhaps even millions, are today with their parents at 
places of work, exploring opportunities for themselves and their 
future, understanding a little bit better how our economy works, how 
our country works.
  I know there are several Senators, including Senator Dodd, who are 
participating with me in this event. There are literally hundreds of 
young people throughout the Capitol today enjoying this special day 
with their parents or special friends.
  I would like to read into the Record names of these young men and 
women who are with me:

     Charles, LA; from Country Day School, Isabel Coleman, New

  I thank them for joining me today in the Senate. I encourage all 
Senators and staff to think about this day as an opportunity for young 
people to come to the Capitol and learn about what we do, have a fuller 
appreciation for the way our government works. I particularly thank 
majority leader Harry Reid, who has been very supportive of this day, 
allowing a tour of the Senate floor earlier this morning, having 
special events throughout the complex. I
