On the recordMarch 16, 2016
I thank the gentleman for being here today and acknowledging the importance of Women's History Month and the involvement of women in politics and government and for his leadership in his home State of Colorado. Next I would like to yield to a longstanding colleague who is well known to the House of Representatives. Virginia Foxx has done more on workforce development issues in the last couple of years than have been done in many, many years in the House of Representatives. She is the first in her family to graduate from college, earn a master's and doctorate degree, and then went on to be the president of an institute of higher learning, a community college. Her presidency there also lifted education in her home State. She is the chairwoman of the House Subcommittee on Higher Education and Workforce Training. Mr. Speaker, I yield to the gentlewoman from North Carolina's Fifth District (Ms. Foxx).
