“It is an exciting day for those of us who have served with Lindy Boggs. I am pleased to be part of this effort to honor an outstanding woman who has been such an important role model for many of us, and for so many women in political life, Ambassador Lindy Boggs. As the gentlewoman from the District of Columbia (Ms. Norton) mentioned, Lindy Boggs had a career of firsts. To name a few, of course as has been said, first woman to be elected to the House from Louisiana, first woman to chair a Democratic National convention, and the first woman to serve as ambassador to the Holy See.”
