                        Thursday, March 8, 2007

  Ms. SOLIS. Madam Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Dialogue on 
Diversity on the occasion of its 13th Annual Public Policy Forum and to 
thank them for their work toward the advancement of all people, in 
particular racial and ethnic minorities. I am proud to recognize the 
Dialogue's efforts to inform the public and stimulate dialogue on 
issues such as immigration reform, education and health-care 
disparities.
  Dialogue on Diversity is a membership based organization of 
professional men and women from the Americas who work together to 
promote the intercultural exchange of ideas and work to foster 
constructive dialogue among diverse people. Founded in 1989, it is 
committed to improving the economic and social condition of women in 
the United States and around the world.
  I am pleased that Dialogue for Diversity has chosen to address our 
broken health care and immigration systems during its 13th Annual 
Public Policy Forum. Both of these issues are important challenges 
facing all walks of life in our nation and forums like the Dialogue on 
Diversity are needed to help to address these important issues.
  Again, I commend the Dialogue on Diversity on the occasion of its 
13th Annual Public Policy Forum and wish them the best of luck in the 
future.
