  RECOGNIZING 100TH ANNIVERSARY OF RATIFICATION OF 19TH AMENDMENT AND 
                   200TH BIRTHDAY OF SUSAN B. ANTHONY

  (Mr. MORELLE asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. MORELLE. Mr. Speaker, in addition to marking the 100th 
anniversary of the ratification of the 19th Amendment, this year also 
marks the 200th birthday of Susan B. Anthony, a pioneer of the women's 
rights movement who made her home in my district in Rochester, New 
York.
  As a Nation, we have come so far in the fight for equality, but we 
continue to face new barriers that threaten to roll back the progress 
we have made. That is why at next week's State of the Union Address, I 
am so proud that I will be joined by Deborah Hughes, president and CEO 
of the National Susan B. Anthony House & Museum in Rochester, and a 
passionate advocate for women everywhere.
  Deborah's work reminds us that the words of Susan B. Anthony still 
ring true today; we must ``organize, agitate, educate'' until every 
American has full equality.
  I am so grateful that Deborah will be joining me next week, and I 
will continue to stand alongside her and work together to support and 
empower women everywhere.
