                        EQUAL PAY FOR EQUAL WORK

  (Ms. FRANKEL of Florida asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute.)
  Ms. FRANKEL of Florida. Mr. Speaker, on Friday, people all over the 
world will be celebrating Valentine's Day, a day of romance when we 
express our gratitude to the ones we love. We look forward to our 
chocolate, our candy, our flowers, and our cards.
  With that said, Mr. Speaker, the women in our lives deserve more--
equal pay for equal work. When our mothers, our daughters, our sisters 
put in a hard day of labor, they should receive the dignity and equity 
that they earn. Fair pay is the best gift we could give women and the 
families they cherish.
