f 2022 INTERNATIONAL WOMEN’S DAY HON.


ED PERLMUTTER OF COLORADO IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES Wednesday, March 9, 2022 Mr. PERLMUTTER.

Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize and celebrate the, 2022 International Women’s Day as an important time to celebrate women and the great strides made with gender equality.
Today is an oppor- tunity to highlight the tremendous accomplish- ments of women all over the world for their achievements and continue the work to appre- ciate our differences whether national, ethnic, linguistic, cultural, economic or political and celebrate those who help pave the way for fu- ture generation.

Women’s rights are an important issue for our country.

As a father of daughters, I value the contributions women make to our country and our communities.
That is why I supported both the Paycheck Fairness Act and the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act to help close the gen- der gap that currently exists between men and women.

We must work to ensure equal pay for equal work and support women and their families in the workplace and at home.

On a global scale, the United Nation’s Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimina- tion Against Women (CEDAW) is working to ensure the rights of women in every country.
I support these efforts and all other efforts to I extend my deepest gratitude to all attendees today for recognizing the contribu- tions of women around the world and cele- brating the 2022 International Women’s Day.

f FULL EQUALITY FOR PUERTO RICO SPEECH OF HON.

AUMUA AMATA COLEMAN RADEWAGEN OF AMERICAN SAMOA IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES Wednesday, March 2, 2022 Mrs. RADEWAGEN.

Madam Speaker, I rise today to celebrate the 105th anniversary of Puerto Ricans gaining the right to U.S. citizen- ship.
For the past 105 years, Puerto Ricans have served this country with the utmost dis- tinction, especially the more than 235,000 Puerto Ricans that have donned this country’s uniform.

During this time of celebration, I would also like to bring to the House’s attention the Puer- to Rico Statehood Admission Act, which would grant Puerto Rico statehood.

I wholeheartedly support this bipartisan piece of legislation that simply executes the wishes of the people of Puerto Rico.
Puerto Ricans have spoken, and it is time for us to listen.

As a Member of Congress from a territory, I can tell you that a lot has been said in recent years about the status of U.S. territories and their place in America.

A lot of the noise that has been generated has been from people and groups outside the territories, who cannot comprehend the complexities of life in the ter- ritories.

In my view, it is up to the people in each of our territories to express their wishes for their own futures.
This bill is the manifestation of those exact wishes.

On November 3, 2020, a majority of Puerto Ricans answered with an emphatic ’Yes’ when asked if they wanted to be a state.

No ifs, ands; or buts.

It is our duty as Members of Congress to immediately follow through on the demands of the people of Puerto Rico, and anything less would do them a great disservice.
I am proud to stand with my good friends Representatives JENNIFFER GONZA´ LEZ-COLO´ N of Puerto Rico and DARREN SOTO of Florida as they seek to deliver for Puerto Ricans.

f SUSPENDING TRADE RELATIONS FOR RUSSIA BELARUS ACT HON.

BILL PASCRELL, JR. OF NEW JERSEY IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES Wednesday, March 9, 2022 Mr. PASCRELL.

Madam Speaker, this weekend, I heard direct pleas for help from President Zelenskyy.

He asked for defense resources and sup- plies.

gency.
gency.

Russia must be removed from the World Trade Organization for its unprovoked invasion of Ukraine.

There is no good reason for Russia to be part of our international and trade commu- nities.

Good neighbors don’t invade sovereign na- tions.

We are using America’s economic might to isolate Russia as a pariah to the whole world.

Today, we take an essential step to weaken Putin and cripple his ability to save Russia’s teetering economy.
In 2019, our former President withheld mili- tary aid from Ukraine to extort President Zelenskyy.

Then, 100 percent of House Republicans turned their backs on Ukraine.

But I hope Re- publicans will support Ukrainians in their hour of need today.

f SUPPORT FOR U.S. SEMICON- DUCTOR MANUFACTURING RE- SEARCH FUNDING HON.

DARREN SOTO OF FLORIDA IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES Wednesday, March 9, 2022 Mr. SOTO.
Madam Speaker, I want to com- mend the authors of the Department of De- fense Fiscal Year 2022 Appropriations bill for including funding for two programs that work in concert to stand up critically needed, se- cure, leading-edge domestic semiconductor manufacturing technology.
Specifically, the additional $20 million in funding for the Industrial Base Analysis and Sustainment Program’s (IBAS) machine tool- ing and advanced manufacturing within the Research, Development, Test and Evaluation, Defense-Wide account; and additional $10 mil- lion in funding for Aerospace Sensors’ zero- trust environment tech- the Research, Development, nology within Test and Evaluation, Air Force account.
for semiconductor Microelectronics support nearly all DoD ac- tivities, enabling capabilities such as the global positioning system, radar, command and con- trol, and communication.

Ensuring secure ac- cess to leading-edge microelectronics, how- ever, is a challenge.

The pandemic has shined a light on the challenges associated with the global supply chain, the changing global semi- conductor industry, and the sophistication of U.S. adversaries, who might target military electronic components.
I am proud of the work being undertaken in my district, at NeoCity, to support domestic semiconductor manufacturing technology de- velopment as they work to address the supply chain.

I believe Congress should continue to provide the resources necessary to update our domestic microelectronics security framework and I look forward to continuing to work with my colleagues to support this goal.
