“I am so grateful to Representative Eleanor Holmes Norton because she knows how to listen to brilliant women no matter the age. We really need to thank Ms. Raya Kenney for coming up with the idea. Precisely, as we have heard on the floor of the House today, it was not just Rosie the riveter, it was a complex participation of women in the workforce. In New Mexico, they were participating by running the ranches, they were participating in our national labs on defense issues and some of the most complex scientific discoveries that helped us win the war. Madam Speaker, I urge my colleagues to support the legislation, and I yield back the balance of my time.”
