Speaker, as a woman it sure feels like it. And sequestration definitely has that impact. Joining me today, and i will yield just a few moments, my good friend from new york, carolyn maloney, who has been quite a leader on a range of womens issues, and she knows clearly the devastating impact of sequestration on women.
