I am so pleased to come to the floor this morning to acknowledge that in the Capitol today there are 17 young women from Louisiana, Florida, New York, and Washington who are my special guests for Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Day, which is today. I also wish to acknowledge the Ms. Foundation that created such an exciting, popular, very effective, and useful day for our country to celebrate, almost 17 years ago to this day, this effort where thousands of young people, perhaps even millions, are today with their parents at places of work, exploring opportunities for themselves and their future, understanding a little bit better how our economy works, how our country works. There are literally hundreds of young people throughout the Capitol today enjoying this special day with their parents or special friends.
