On the recordJanuary 27, 2011
Mr. President, I rise today to honor Sarah Brachman, who has received the 2011 Advocate of the Year Award from the National Down Syndrome Society. Throughout her life, Sarah has been dedicated to the important cause of raising awareness and increasing public understanding of Down syndrome. She has been instrumental in the growth of the Congressional Down Syndrome caucus and has assisted in pushing their initiatives through legislation, all the while helping their membership increase. As a result of her efforts, more than 30 Members of Congress have now joined the caucus. I am proud of all that Sarah has accomplished, and all she will continue to achieve. Along with the National Down Syndrome Society, I congratulate Sarah Brachman for her concerted effort and dedicated service. ____________________
