On this first International Day of the Girl, the United States reaffirms our abidingcommitment to promoting the rights and status of girls here in the United States and around the world.
And that's work that I am confident Elena will carry out with integrity, with humanity, and an abidingcommitment to the ideal inscribed above our courthouse doors: equal justice under the law.
And when we falter, as we will, let redemption -- through commitment and through perseverance and through faith -- be our abiding hope and fervent prayer.
