                  EMPLOYEE BENEFIT RESEARCH INSTITUTE

 Mr. GRASSLEY. Mr. President, I would like to take a few 
moments today to pay tribute to the Employee Benefit Research 
Institute, or EBRI, on the occasion of its 30th anniversary. EBRI is a 
well-known, nonpartisan research institution providing invaluable 
analysis, briefings, and publications on health and retirement issues, 
which are critically important to both America's workers and the 
employers that sponsor these benefits. The high-quality and objective 
work done by EBRI has won it respect within the halls of Congress, 
among members on both sides of

the aisle in the House of Representatives and in the Senate. On EBRI's 
anniversary, I wish to register my appreciation for its work and my 
admiration for its commitment to issues relating to employee benefits. 
I commend EBRI for the valuable contribution the institution has made 
to policymaking in the all-important areas of retirement, health, and 
economic security, and wish EBRI continued success in the 
future.
