                  EMPLOYEE BENEFIT RESEARCH INSTITUTE

  Mr. GRASSLEY. Madam President, I wish to bring to my colleagues' 
attention the work of the Employee Benefit Research Institute, EBRI, in 
acknowledgment of the institute's 35th anniversary. EBRI is a 
nonpartisan, objective, and reliable source of information and analysis 
of private sector health and retirement issues in the Nation. Much of 
EBRI's work, including its data on qualified retirement accounts and 
its analysis of health care coverage, is unique and available nowhere 
else. As a research institution that is well respected by members and 
policy experts on both sides of the aisle, EBRI is frequently asked to 
testify on retirement, health, and economic security issues before 
committees in both the House and Senate. For more than three decades, 
the institute has provided credible, reliable, and objective research, 
data, and analysis that Congress can rely on. I congratulate EBRI on 
its 35th anniversary and look forward to many more years of its 
valuable, nonpartisan, and dependable analysis.
