           HONORING THE LIFE AND LEGACY OF SENATOR HARRY REID

  (Mr. HORSFORD asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. HORSFORD. Madam Speaker, I rise to honor a great son of Nevada, 
Senator Harry Mason Reid.
  Senator Reid was raised in a home with dirt floors in Searchlight, 
Nevada. And even as he rose to the highest levels of power, including 
this Chamber, he never forgot his small-town roots.
  In the Senate, he fought for all of us. He championed the DREAM Act 
and brought young Dreamers to Capitol Hill. He fought against Yucca 
Mountain. And because of his work to pass the Affordable Care Act, 31 
million Americans have healthcare today.
  Most people don't know this, but long before he was a Senator, he 
paid his way through law school by serving with the U.S. Capitol 
Police. He protected this Capitol, and he defended our democracy.
  Senator Reid, thank you for your lifetime of service. May you rest in 
peace.
