  Mr. SMITH of Texas. Mr. Speaker, March 6th marks the beginning of 
Women in Construction Week. The National Association of Women in 
Construction (NAWIC) takes this week to highlight women in the 
construction industry. Chapter 11 of NAWIC is located in San Antonio, 
which I represent. This week allows thousands of NAWIC members across 
the country to raise awareness of the opportunities available to women 
in the construction industry and emphasize the growing role of women in 
the industry.
  In sincere appreciation, Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me 
in recognizing this week as Women in Construction Week.
