                       TRIBUTE TO SARAH BRACHMAN

  Mr. REID. Mr. President, I rise today to honor Sarah Brachman, who 
has received the 2011 Advocate of the Year Award from the National Down 
Syndrome Society.
  Throughout her life, Sarah has been dedicated to the important cause 
of raising awareness and increasing public understanding of Down 
syndrome. She has been instrumental in the growth of the Congressional 
Down Syndrome caucus and has assisted in pushing their initiatives 
through legislation, all the while helping their membership increase. 
As a result of her efforts, more than 30 Members of Congress have now 
joined the caucus.
  I am proud of all that Sarah has accomplished, and all she will 
continue to achieve. Along with the National Down Syndrome Society, I 
congratulate Sarah Brachman for her concerted effort and dedicated 
service.
