                   NATIONAL SAVE FOR RETIREMENT WEEK

  (Mr. SAM JOHNSON of Texas asked and was given permission to address 
the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. SAM JOHNSON of Texas. Mr. Speaker, this year National Save for 
Retirement Week is going to take place October 21st through the 27th. 
National Save for Retirement Week is the first congressionally 
endorsed, formal event publicly urging employers to promote the 
benefits of saving for retirement, and encourage their employees to 
take full advantage of employer-sponsored retirement and savings plans. 
Hopefully this week will make employees more aware of how critical it 
is to save now for their financial future and learn how to take 
advantage of free money when saving for retirement by contributing 
enough to the retirement plan to receive the company match.
  To learn more about National Save for Retirement Week, visit 
choosetosave.org. I urge you to take charge of your retirement now.
