Barbara Mikulski: “I do not mean closed every commissary, but there was an actual downsizing.”

Your leadership in placing the Women's Suffrage National Monument on the National Mall will expand our Nation's understanding of American women's leadership.

It will be a proud day for our country when every girl who visits the National Mall is able to see herself represented amongst the giants of our national story.

We especially thank Senate Appropriations Chairman Thad Cochran and Vice-Chairwoman Barbara Mikulski for their unwavering support for the NIH.

We are safe, we are secure, and we are undeterred.
