FETAL ALCOHOL SPECTRUM DISORDER AWARENESS DAY

Mr. DeWINE. Madam President, let me first commend my colleague from Alaska as well as my colleague from South Dakota for their very excellent statements about a problem that I understand affects their States but certainly affects every State in the Union. I hope their comments today will be of help. I know their efforts will certainly help. It is, as my colleague from Alaska has so eloquently said, very preventable. It is something that we who have the opportunity to use this bully pulpit of the Senate, as Theodore Roosevelt would say, can talk about to educate and inform people about the problem and that it is, in fact, preventable.
