                 ALZHEIMER'S AND BRAIN AWARENESS MONTH

  Mr. GRASSLEY. Mr. President, June is Alzheimer's and Brain Awareness 
Month.
  It is important to recognize the impact Alzheimer's has on families 
in Iowa and across the country and to recognize the cost to taxpayers 
because of the care it takes in the last years of their lives. This 
disease robs Americans of their memories and impacts their ability to 
speak, pay attention, and exercise judgment.
  The best way for Congress to help with Alzheimer's disease is to 
ensure adequate research funding to find treatments. As Congress 
considers appropriations for next year, we should continue to fund 
research and work toward curing this disease.
