                RESTORING THE NATION'S ECONOMIC SECURITY

  (Ms. TITUS asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. TITUS. Mr. Speaker, it is with great honor that I stand on the 
floor of this House to represent the people of Nevada's Third District. 
I am humbled by the trust and faith they have placed in me, and I 
pledge to live up to that trust.
  This is a critical time in our Nation's history. We face an economic 
crisis that has shaken our very roots. In my district, we have seen 
rampant foreclosures, record unemployment, and rising prices; but 
despite these challenges we remain optimistic. Next week, the band from 
Green Valley High School in my district will be in Washington marching 
in the parade to welcome our next President with hope and dreams for a 
brighter future. It is for them and all Americans that this President 
and Congress must usher in a new era.
  Working together in the spirit of bipartisanship, we can bring change 
to our community that restores our economic security and once again 
fulfills the potential that made our Nation great.
