Solely for the purpose of a unanimous consent request, I yield to the gentlewoman from Texas (Ms. Jackson-Lee.) (Ms. JACKSON-LEE of Texas asked and was given permission to revise and extend her remarks.)

It is horrific to me, to think that, one day, when my daughter enters the workforce, that she might be harassed.
I would certainly emphasize that if anybody here has the notion that I believe that I am above the law, they should dissuade themselves of that notion.
I believe that we must listen to the claims of women who come forth with allegations of harassment, abuse, or misconduct.
It is intolerable to me to think that a mere accusation of impropriety would somehow deny him the presumption of innocence.
