  Ms. TITUS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and celebrate the 
50th anniversary of the American Civil Liberties Union of Nevada.
  Since 1966, the ACLU of Nevada has continuously worked to defend the 
civil rights and civil liberties of all Nevadans through public 
advocacy, litigation, and education.
  The many dedicated board members, directors, volunteers, and staff 
over the years have made it an exceptional organization of critical 
importance to our state. I would like to thank current Executive 
Director Tod Story for his leadership and tireless work on behalf of 
the ACLU and people of Nevada.
  I would also like to recognize the 50th anniversary celebration 
honorees: Jan Jones Blackhurst, Paula Francis, Colin Seale, Sheila 
Leslie, and Richard Siegel. Thank you for being champions of democracy 
and for your years of service to Nevada promoting justice, free speech, 
individual rights, and progressive leadership.
  Congratulations on 50 years of great work. Thank you for your 
contributions to our community, and here's to 50 more years defending 
the rights and liberties of Nevadans. Count on me to be your friend and 
advocate in Washington.
