                    SET ASIDE THE DO-NOTHING AGENDA

  (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 on behalf of the 1.9 million 
unemployed Americans, including nearly 21,000 in Nevada, people who are 
struggling to put food on the table, a roof over their heads, and gas 
in their car.
  Despite the daily struggle that these people have making ends meet 
while looking for a new, good-paying job, House Republicans have 
refused to bring a bill to the floor that would extend their critical 
lifeline. In fact, since the beginning of the 113th Congress, House 
Republicans have failed to bring a single jobs bill to the floor.
  The American people have made it clear that they want this Congress 
to work to find solutions that represent a balanced approach, not 
partisan ideology that is out of touch with their needs and priorities.
  I urge House Republicans to set aside their do-nothing agenda, 
address the serious challenges facing our country, and take meaningful 
action to achieve real results for the people we are sent here to 
serve.
