ANNOUNCING AN OPEN HOUSE IN NEW JERSEY'S TWELFTH CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT 
                           FLEMINGTON OFFICE

  (Mr. PAPPAS asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. PAPPAS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to announce that for New 
Jersey's 12th Congressional District there will be an open house in one 
of my two district offices in Flemington, NJ, this afternoon from 3 to 
5:30 p.m., in hopes that many residents of the district will come to 
meet with members of my staff.
  Mr. Speaker, my district, for at least New Jersey, is very large 
geographically. It runs from the Delaware River on the west to almost 
the Atlantic Ocean on the east. The efforts that my staff and I have 
been taking to reach out to and be of service to the people of the 12th 
District we believe will be highlighted by this open house.
  I spent a majority of my time back in New Jersey to meet with the 
people that I represent from central New Jersey, and today is what we 
believe to be an important step in advertising the location of at least 
one of the district offices.
  The schedule here in Washington may preclude me from being at the 
open house this afternoon, but I look forward to meeting with those 
people who may be attending.
