BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. SCHUMER. Mr. President, today is World Down Syndrome Awareness Day.

To honor this day, I am wearing a pair of socks given to me yesterday, in Schenectady, by my friend Sheila Seery. Sheila's daughter, Anna, is 14 and lives with Down syndrome. These socks come from a company on Long Island called John's Crazy Socks, run by a man with Down syndrome, who makes socks to help raise awareness for the condition. So, not only are they a wonderful pair of socks, they are also for a great cause.

Today, I am thinking of my friend Sheila and her daughter, Anna, as well as every family in our country who has a loved one living with Down syndrome.
