                        EVERY CHILD ACHIEVES ACT

  Ms. COLLINS. Mr. President, before I begin my comments on the Older 
Americans Act, I do want to add to the accolades that have been given 
today to the chairman and the ranking member of the Senate Health, 
Education, Labor and Pensions Committee, on which I am pleased to 
serve.
  They have worked as a team, providing tremendous leadership that 
brought us to a tremendous accomplishment today, and that is the 
passage of the Every Child Achieves Act. It would not have happened 
without the extraordinary leadership of Chairman Alexander and Senator 
Murray, the ranking minority member. I thank them for their hard work 
in this regard.
