                         ADDITIONAL STATEMENTS

                                 ______
                                 

      RECOGNIZING THE AMERICAN BAR ASSOCIATION HEALTH LAW SECTION

 Mr. CASSIDY. Mr. President, in 1996, the health law section of 
the American Bar Association was created to enhance the practice of 
health law and improve the understanding and development of Federal and 
State health laws and regulations. The members of the ABA health law 
section represent all aspects of the healthcare and life sciences 
industry, comprising a diverse group of lawyers in the private sector, 
government service, and academia. The health law section provides 
thought leadership on all issues within the healthcare industry and 
advocates for sound public policy. In addition, its members have played 
prominent roles in developing programs to train advocates for victims 
of breast cancer, in providing pro bono legal services to individuals 
through medical-legal partnerships, and in seeking improvements in the 
delivery of mental healthcare and treatment of substance use disorders.
  I ask that the Senate recognize the tremendous accomplishments and 
contributions of the members of the American Bar Association health law 
section and extend its best wishes for many years of continued service 
to the healthcare and life sciences industry.
