                   WORLD DOWN SYNDROME AWARENESS DAY

  Mr. SCHUMER. Mr. President, today is World Down Syndrome Awareness 
Day.
  To honor this day, I am wearing a pair of socks given to me 
yesterday, in Schenectady, by my friend Sheila Seery. Sheila's 
daughter, Anna, is 14 and lives with Down syndrome. These socks come 
from a company on Long Island called John's Crazy Socks, run by a man 
with Down syndrome, who makes socks to help raise awareness for the 
condition. So, not only are they a wonderful pair of socks, they are 
also for a great cause.
  Today, I am thinking of my friend Sheila and her daughter, Anna, as 
well as every family in our country who has a loved one living with 
Down syndrome.
