               THE THIRD CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT OF NEVADA

  (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, last week I hosted a telephone town hall 
with more than 3,500 people tuned in from District Three. This was an 
excellent opportunity to hear directly from my constituents about the 
issues that are important to their lives. This was the sixth telephone 
town hall that I participated in. In addition, we've answered some 
95,000 letters, held 10 Congress on the Corners, and hosted five 
housing workshops.
  These means of communication have helped me to be a powerful voice 
for the people of District Three and to provide as much transparency as 
possible about the proceedings here in Washington. In fact, thanks to 
these efforts, I've put $1.6 million directly into the pockets of 
southern Nevadans by fighting for veterans to get their benefits, 
seniors to get their Social Security benefits, and homeowners to 
receive loan modifications that keep them in their homes. I've made it 
a top priority to stay closely connected to my constituents, fighting 
for them in Washington while serving them in southern Nevada. I 
encourage them to call on me any time.
