               HONORING THE LIFE OF GOVERNOR KENNY GUINN

  (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, today Nevada mourns the loss of a good man, 
former Governor Kenny Guinn, a true public servant who always put the 
interests of Nevadans first, ahead of party and above politics.
  I was honored to serve in the State legislature during Governor 
Guinn's tenure there. As a former Clark County School Superintendent, 
Governor Guinn led efforts to improve Nevada's system of education. And 
through our shared commitment to both teachers and students, we became 
friends as well as colleagues.
  It was thanks to his leadership that we created the Millennium 
Scholarship which bears his name and has helped some 60,000 young 
Nevadans fulfill the dream of a college education. That is his legacy.
  Kenny Guinn reached the State's highest office, but he never lost his 
special common touch for which he is so beloved by so many. My thoughts 
and prayers go out to his family today.
