     SUBJECT:   National Women's History Month Observance
     
     March has been designated National Women's History Month.  After years 
     of traditionally highlighting major contributions made by women, it is 
     time for us to "See History in a New Way."  This year's theme beholds 
     the cornerstone to understanding a large part of our multicultural 
     country.
     
     As we reflect on the history of our country, we realize that women 
     have served with distinction and courage.  They have educated and 
     inspired our children and have contributed to our Nation's prosperity 
     in all walks of life.  Women also have been prominent in our great 
     struggles for political and social reform.  Today, women play a major 
     role in our government as members of Congress, in the Cabinet, and on 
     the Supreme Court.  Every aspect of our national and personal life has 
     been touched by the leadership, energy and insight of outstanding 
     American women. 
     
     Activities have been planned throughout the Department and all 
     employees are strongly encouraged to participate in the celebration of 
     National Women's History Month.
