            THE NEW CONGRESSIONAL TASK FORCE ON JOB CREATION

  (Ms. TITUS asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. TITUS. Madam Speaker, with unemployment at a record high in 
southern Nevada, it's critical that we focus our efforts on creating 
good jobs that will put Nevadans back to work. That's why I'm proud to 
have recently joined the new Congressional Task Force on Job Creation. 
This working group will collect innovative ideas and formulate 
legislation that will put people back to work across the country and 
get our economy moving again.
  This effort is especially critical to strengthening our economy in 
southern Nevada. Creating jobs locally will require innovation in 
Nevada's growing industries, such as renewable energy, and perhaps a 
high-speed train, as well as building a stronger national economy that 
puts money back in the pockets of potential visitors who will come to 
Nevada and boost our travel and tourism industry.
  I look forward to joining my colleagues on this task force in the 
coming weeks to find real solutions that will create jobs for Nevada 
and the rest of the country.
