                  WHEN WOMEN SUCCEED, AMERICA SUCCEEDS

  (Mrs. BEATTY asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mrs. BEATTY. Mr. Speaker, I come today to the floor to salute women, 
living legends, women who are focused and determined and hopeful and 
empowered--not just one, but a roll call from my district:
  Karen Morrison, Ohio Health; Trudy Bartley, The Ohio State 
University; Stephanie Hightower, the Urban League; Kathy Espy, Mount 
Carmel; Yvette McGee Brown, Jones Day law firm; the Women's Fund; the 
YWCA, with Christie Angel; Go Red for Women; Delta Sigma Theta; The 
Links, Incorporated; the Matriarch; Barbara Benham, Huntington Bank; 
Dawn Tyler Lee, the mayor's office; Emilia Sykes, Ohio House Democratic 
leader;
  Our judges, African American women elected to the courts: Jaiza Page, 
Laurel Beatty Blunt, Monica Hawkins, Kimberly Browne, Terri Jamison. 
And the list goes on and on: Jennifer Brunner, judge; and, yes, the 
Ohio Supreme Court, Melody Stewart.
  Today I stand here and I say thank you to Jo Ann Davidson, the first 
female Speaker in Ohio; Colleen Marshall, reporting it every day on the 
news; and so many more.
  Today I join women on this floor because we salute women. Women make 
a difference. But most importantly, Mr. Speaker, we know when women 
succeed, America succeeds.
