                        HON. JEFFERSON VAN DREW

                             of new jersey

                        Monday, November 1, 2021

  Mr. VAN DREW. Madam Speaker, ``Life, Liberty and the pursuit of 
happiness.'' These words are not to be taken lightly, and they are 
certainly not exclusive to one class. That is the beauty of our 
nation--that all individuals are afforded the opportunity to better 
themselves and their place in society. Easterseals is an organization 
that adheres to that principle: independence. Easterseals, for 
generations, has given the most vulnerable and overlooked community a 
chance at independence through employment. The Easterseals organization 
has been an advocate for those with disabilities. It offers them the 
opportunity for success in areas of employment and in education. In a 
similar vein, Easterseals continues helping those individuals and 
families dealing with disabilities, helping them secure the same 
independence and freedom to pursue ``Life, liberty and Happiness.'' God 
Bless, Easterseals, and all those who participate in the program, and 
God Bless America.
