               ENJOY SOME GOOD EXERCISE FOR A GREAT CAUSE

  (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, I rise to bring attention to a 
wonderful event taking place this Sunday, April 19, in south Florida, 
the 15th annual Miami Walk Now for Autism Speaks. According to the CDC, 
over 3 million individuals in our great country are impacted by an 
autism spectrum disorder. There have been dramatic scientific advances 
in our understanding of autism over just the past 5 years, but we must 
ensure that progress toward effective treatment and a cure continues.
  The Miami Walk along with others taking place across our wonderful 
country will raise vital funds to help support important research and 
family services--research and services. I urge everyone to get out of 
the house, enjoy some good exercise for a great cause in sunny south 
Florida this weekend, and participate in the Miami Walk Now for Autism 
Speaks.
