  Mrs. WALORSKI. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize National 
Retirement Planning

[[Page 5646]]

Week. This is the perfect opportunity to remember that planning for 
retirement is not just an issue for older Americans.
  The National Retirement Planning Coalition has consistently provided 
support and resources to engage people of all ages to encourage them to 
ensure their financial future is planned and protected. Preserving 
Americans' access to income options and workplace savings plans will 
restore and improve our society's financial security.
  I am truly grateful for the hard work of everyone who made the events 
and activities of this week a success in motivating individuals across 
the country to plan for retirement. In today's economy, it is more 
important than ever that Americans start saving for retirement early. 
Through National Retirement Planning Week, the National Retirement 
Planning Coalition has created an innovative approach designed to help 
us `Rethink Retirement.'
  National Retirement Planning Week is an important initiative that is 
sure to have a positive impact on many lives. The educational 
opportunities throughout this week will provide a foundation for the 
invaluable asset of early, holistic financial planning.
  Mr. Speaker, I applaud the National Retirement Planning Coalition for 
encouraging early and responsible planning, and for working with my 
colleagues and me to find bipartisan solutions to make it easier to 
plan for retirement.
