From the White House: “President Bush Signs H.R. 4, the Pension Protection Act of 2006.” Some comments from the President at the signing:
In a few moments, I will have the honor of signing the most sweeping reform of America’s pension laws in over 30 years, the Pension Protection Act of 2006. . .Americans who spend a lifetime working hard should be confident that their pensions will be there when they retire. Last year I asked Congress to strengthen protections for the pensions of our workers. Members of both parties came together to pass a good bill that will improve our pension system, while expanding opportunities. .
Today, we’ve taken an important step toward ensuring greater retirement security for millions of American workers. I want to thank the House and the Senate for their good work on this vital legislation. It’s been hard work. It took a lot of pages to write that bill, as you can see. (Laughter.)
