                             MARCH FOR LIFE

  (Mr. POMPEO asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. POMPEO. Mr. Speaker, tomorrow hundreds of young people from 
across Kansas will join thousands of Americans, young and old, on The 
National Mall for the March for Life. They are here to remind us all 
that, in the midst of all the important issues we talk about here in 
Washington, D.C., every single life is a gift.
  This year is the 42nd anniversary of Roe v. Wade. Since then, over 55 
million abortions have been performed in the United States. This stain 
upon our Nation has been allowed to continue for far too long. Yet in 
the face of this continuing tragedy, I am encouraged by the fact that 
today the pro-life movement is stronger than ever.
  I see the evidence of that movement in the eyes of the young people, 
young people that will come to Washington tomorrow from Benedictine 
College, from Conway Springs High School, from Bishop Carroll High 
School, from Kapaun Mt. Carmel, and from both Kansas State University 
and Newman University. It will encourage me to continue my efforts to 
protect the unborn each and every day.
  While some just talk the talk, tomorrow the young people from Kansas 
will walk the walk, and I look forward to joining with them on this 
very special and important day to protect this very important right.
