BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mrs. BEATTY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in support of Go Red for
Women.

More than 600,000 women's lives have been saved from heart disease
since Go Red for Women was created in 2004, but heart disease still
remains the number one killer for women and men and causes more deaths
than all forms of cancer.

As a National Heart Association Board member, one of Columbus, Ohio's
first Go Red chairs, and a member of the Congressional Heart Caucus, I
rise today to recognize survivors, those battling with heart disease,
and those who are fighting and working to find cures and improve
treatments.

Today, Members of Congress will stand together, Democrats and
Republicans, in red to send a message to the Nation that as colleagues,
we can stand and celebrate the American Heart Association and its Go
Red for Women campaign.

Mr. Speaker, working together, we will make a difference.
