I would like, myself, to reiterate that emphasis. It is, I think, not unusual that the name of Lindy Boggs would be associated with a bipartisan caucus in this House. The Women's Caucus for all of its accomplishments pursues those accomplishments in a bipartisan fashion. That is not always easy, but the fact is that we have found in the caucus that the great majority of the issues that come naturally to us are issues that are of their very nature bipartisan. It was my great privilege to chair the Congressional Caucus on Women's Issues during one Congress. I must say that I think that Lindy Boggs would be especially proud that the caucus that she helped found has maintained its strong bipartisan focus and because of that focus has become one of the strongest caucuses in the House.
