Barbara Mikulski: “Well, you know where I am, because we have all this distressed housing, and we have more work to be done.”

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

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.

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

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.
