                 ASIAN PACIFIC AMERICAN HERITAGE MONTH

  (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, this past Saturday, I had the honor and 
pleasure of participating in a wonderful Asian Pacific American 
Heritage Month celebration. It featured native songs and dances, 
beautiful flowers and costumes and excellent food from around Asia. The 
event was sponsored by the Clark County Asian American Democratic 
Caucus under the able leadership of Sanje Sedera and Raheela Haq. 
Community advocates were honored and scholarships were awarded.
  Asian Americans are the fastest growing minority group in Nevada and 
are becoming an increasingly powerful and positive force in our 
society, our economics, and our political scene. We welcome their 
valuable contributions and honor their delightfully rich cultural 
traditions.
