                   AMERICA'S GROWING AGING POPULATION

  (Mr. TRONE asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. TRONE. Madam Speaker, today I rise to praise the House for 
unanimously passing the Dignity in Aging Act. This act includes two 
bipartisan bills that I led to respond to challenges facing a growing 
aging American population: social isolation and younger onset 
Alzheimer's.
  As I heard from seniors and their families in my district at my 
seniors workshop, we need to do more to support caregivers, improve 
economic opportunities for older individuals, and ensure Americans can 
age with dignity, security, and quality of life. This act does that.
  This week Democrats and Republicans worked together in Washington to 
pass the Dignity in Aging Act. That is a win for Congress, a win for 
seniors, and a win for the American people.
