Q Mr. President, we have three important questions we want to ask. I will ask the first one. A recent Nclr report shows that Hispanic women are the lowest-paid workers in the country and there is substantial evidence that Latinos experience discrimination on the basis of both national origin and gender. In light of your speech earlier today, how do you see the administration addressing the needs and interests of Hispanic women?

The President: Thank you. First of all, I'd like to talk a little bit about our survey. In our WorkingWomen Count Campaign, conducted by Secretary Reich at the Department of Labor, with the able assistance of Hermalinda Pompa of the Women's Bureau, we circulated a questionnaire to working women. Two hundred and fifty thousand Hispanic women replied. They told us they were interested in paying benefits and having the ability to both work and to care for their children, and in making sure that women could be valued and treated properly and fairly in the workplace. We are determined to do what we can to advance this cause. First of all, we want to make sure Hispanic women understand the rights and opportunities to which they're entitled as working Americans. And we have translated into Spanish, for example, information on the family leave law, information on the sexual harassment laws, information on pregnancy and other employment discrimination practices. I think that is very important. But secondly, and even more important, we have to pursue and economic agenda that will help Hispanic women.
