               CELEBRATING NATIONAL WOMEN'S HISTORY MONTH

  (Ms. ROS-LEHTINEN asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. ROS-LEHTINEN. Mr. Speaker, due to National Women's History Month 
every March, we celebrate the tremendous contributions of women who 
have helped make this Nation the greatest on Earth.
  But when thinking about our amazing female forebearers, what becomes 
clear is that their primary mission was one of education. Education is 
the key in getting girls and boys, women and men to believe in 
themselves, to have the confidence and know-how to use their 
individual, God-given abilities to better their own lives and improve 
the condition of our communities.
  As we celebrate the wonderful legacy that our American heroines have 
left across the United States, let's not forget that the mission of 
education is not yet finished.
  As a former Florida certified teacher, Mr. Speaker, I have witnessed 
the transformational impact that education can have. Let's follow the 
lead of great women that we are honoring this month, and let's continue 
working together to make a quality education a reality for all, both 
here in our great Nation and around the world.
