                 CELEBRATING LIFE OF BARBARA GREENSPUN

  (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, I rise today to celebrate the life of Barbara 
Greenspun whose recent death marks the end of an era in Nevada. With 
her sad passing, we have lost a remarkable individual who gave so much 
of herself to our community.
  Together, Hank and Barbara Greenspun poured their heart and soul into 
the Las Vegas Sun, showing a dedication and commitment that would turn 
the paper into a leading publication. Then moving from behind the 
scenes to publisher after Hank's death, Barbara built upon his legacy 
as the paper earned journalism's most prestigious award, the Pulitzer 
Prize.
  Known for her grace and generous spirit, Barbara also committed 
herself to a number of important causes, including higher education and 
women's health that touched the lives of so many. While she will be 
truly missed, her legacy will live on through her remarkable family, 
the landmark Greenspun building at UNLV, and the continued excellence 
of the Las Vegas Sun.
