On the recordOctober 21, 1997
What do President Clinton, Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, Cokie Roberts, and the singing group, Sweet Honey in the Rock have in common? They are part of the all-star line up this evening when the Women's Caucus celebrates 20 years of incredible achievements for women and families. Originally 15, we are now 50 strong. Almost all of the women of the House are Members. We are bipartisan and proud of it. At 7 tonight at Mellon Auditorium we will celebrate extraordinary legislative achievements that range from the Pregnancy Discrimination Act to the Family Medical and Leave Act. The Women's Caucus has given shape and focus to women's issues and we have a lot to show for it. Tonight, though, we will just show off.
