                    NATIONAL FAMILY CAREGIVERS MONTH

  (Mr. MAGAZINER asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. MAGAZINER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize November as 
National Family Caregivers Month and to honor the important work of the 
more than 48 million American family caregivers across our country.
  Every day, Americans provide physical and emotional support for their 
older parents, spouses, siblings, grandparents, and other loved ones so 
that they can live independently in their homes. These caregivers help 
with everything, including meals, bathing, medical care, 
transportation, often balancing their jobs and their family 
responsibilities at the same time.
  In Congress, we must do our part to make caregivers' lives easier. 
That is why I introduced the Alleviating Barriers to Caregivers Act, a 
bicameral, bipartisan bill that will reduce paperwork and red tape and 
make it easier for caregivers to navigate the resources and benefits 
that they are entitled to.
  Family caregivers work around the clock to make a difference in the 
lives of their loved ones, and it is time that our country make a 
difference in theirs.
