       ANTI-COUNTERFEITING CONSUMER EDUCATION AND AWARENESS MONTH

  Mr. GRASSLEY. Mr. President, in honor of Anti-Counterfeiting Consumer 
Education and Awareness Month, I wish to highlight the problem of 
counterfeits sold online.
  Counterfeiters are increasingly turning to e-commerce to sell all of 
their fakes. In the past, I have advocated for increased education and 
awareness efforts because I believe these efforts and education are 
critical tools in our country's arsenal against counterfeits.
  I encourage our Customs and Border Protection to identify ways to 
increase information sharing with their private industry partners. This 
is one way we can prevent the sale of fakes and keep consumers safe.
  I yield the floor.
