              TRIBUTE TO THE NEVADA TAXPAYERS ASSOCIATION

 Mr. REID. Mr. President, I rise today to pay tribute to the 
Nevada Taxpayers Association. On February 25, 1997, the association 
will celebrate 75 years of service to the citizens of Nevada. It is my 
honor to salute the organization for its diligent efforts to inform and 
serve the public on tax policy issues.
  The Nevada Taxpayers Association is the only tax policy and analysis 
organization of its kind in Nevada. The mission of this preeminent 
organization is to protect and preserve sensible fiscal policy that is 
beneficial to Nevada's citizens, and to enhance fiscal policies that 
impact our State, county, and city governments.
  Since 1922, the Nevada Taxpayers Association has represented the 
interests of the citizens of Nevada, as well as business and industry, 
to create a fair and equitable revenue system. For the past 75 years, 
Nevada's past and current Governors have worked cooperatively with the 
Nevada Taxpayers Association to ensure the best tax structure possible 
for the State.
  This year, the State of Nevada will celebrate Nevada Taxpayers 
Association Day on February 25. I applaud the Nevada Taxpayers 
Association for the integral role it has played, and continues to play, 
in fiscal policy analysis and research in Nevada. On behalf of all 
taxpayers in Nevada who have benefited from the association's many 
publications, reports, and analyses, I wholeheartedly thank them for 
their invaluable service. It is my pleasure to speak on behalf of the 
Nevada Taxpayers Association, and I commend the organization for its 
unwavering support of the rights of taxpayers.
