may I thank the gentlewoman from Illinois for coming forward to inform the House of this intriguing study and for giving us I think some ammunition about what our responsibility is. Women, in fact, need to be asked. It seems to me there is some asking that we all need to do; and you consider that women are increasingly better qualified, by education, to hold office because they get more education. You wonder what more do they need. I guess it is important information for us all to have, and it is challenging information, and I thank the gentlewoman for staying this evening to come forward.
