today I wish to pay special tribute to the Michigan Parent Teacher Association, which this year is celebrating 100 years of advocacy on behalf of Michigan's children and families. A lot has changed since the Michigan PTA was first…

I ask unanimous consent that the order for the quorum call be rescinded. The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. Sullivan). Without objection, it is so ordered. The Senator from Michigan. CHANGE Act

I authored the language in the ACA to make sure that this was included in everything, because it had not been happening up until then.
