                        TRIBUTE TO MARV TEIXEIRA

  Mr. REID. Mr. President, I rise today to honor one of Nevada's 
leaders, Mayor Marv Teixeira. For the citizens of Carson City, he has 
been a determined and tireless fighter whose efforts and achievements 
will be appreciated for generations to come.
  For 7 years, Marv has served as the mayor of Nevada's capital city. 
With characteristic good humor and affability, Mayor Teixeira has 
fought hard on behalf of the city and State he loves. His devoted 
leadership has made the town he calls ``Nevada's best kept secret'' an 
even better place.
  Mayor Teixeira has been instrumental in bringing new companies and 
new jobs to Carson City. These efforts have helped change the face of 
Carson City to a thriving manufacturing town with old west charm. Mayor 
Teixeira has gracefully overseen a city with a growing population and 
has devoted himself to easing Carson's downtown traffic through 
securing funding for the Carson City bypass. His accomplishments as 
mayor can be seen all over the city, from building the centralized city 
hall complex, the senior citizen's center, and the Pony Express 
Pavilion to instituting a million dollar downtown beautification 
project. He activated public access television in Carson City and found 
funding for a $19 million public safety complex.
  It is my pleasure to speak today in tribute to Marv Teixeira and 
congratulate him on his many years of outstanding public service. For 
the excellence with which he performed his job, Nevada owes Marv 
Teixeira a debt of gratitude.
