                     IN SUPPORT OF SOCIAL SECURITY

  (Ms. MANNING asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. MANNING. Mr. Speaker, I rise as a proud cosponsor of the Social 
Security 2100 Act, a bill that will enhance Social Security benefits 
for the first time in 50 years and ensure this program's solvency for 
years to come.
  In my district, more than 157,000 retirees and families rely on 
Social Security as their primary source of income. Social Security 
doesn't just help retirees. Almost 10,000 children and more than 20,000 
disabled workers in my district depend on Social Security to meet their 
basic expenses.
  Social Security was there when my mother-in-law, a stay-at-home mom, 
was suddenly widowed at 28 years old and left with four young children 
to raise on her own. Social Security was there to help her get through 
the tragic loss of her husband and to figure out how to support her 
young family.
  I stand in support of Social Security. I will stand up to any 
politician who wants to take away or reduce those earned benefits.
