               RECOGNIZING THE FINANCIAL GUIDANCE CENTER

  Mr. REID. Mr. President, I rise today to honor the Financial Guidance 
Center, FGC, a nonprofit organization that has remained steadfast in 
its commitment to providing financial literacy services to all 
Nevadans.
  This year marks 40 years of empowering Nevadans by providing quality 
financial and credit counseling. FGC is a HUD-approved housing 
counseling agency, accredited by the Council of Accreditation and a 
member of the National Foundation for Credit Counseling.
  More than ever, their services are crucial to countless homeowners in 
Nevada. FGC provides access to free financial, housing, and bankruptcy 
counseling, debt management, downpayment assistance, and financial 
literacy programs that are essential to making our communities more 
financially sound. The Financial Guidance Center should be proud of its 
enduring resolve to provide families with the important tools that 
contribute to a healthy community.
  Selected by the Las Vegas Chamber of Commerce as the 2010 Non-Profit 
of the Year, FGC has remained dedicated to helping Americans get back 
on their feet, reach their housing goals, and attain much needed 
financial sustainability in trying economic times.
  I am pleased to stand today in recognition of the Financial Guidance 
Center and their many contributions to Nevada and Utah, and I wish them 
continued success in the years to come.
