                               of nevada

                    in the house of representatives

                         Monday, June 16, 2003

  Ms. BERKLEY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in support of H.R. 2254, a 
bill to name a Boulder City, Nevada Post Office for Mr. Bruce Woodbury 
in honor of Mr. Woodbury's public service to both his hometown of 
Boulder City and the entire Las Vegas Valley.
  Bruce is a native of Las Vegas, growing up in the Valley and 
graduating from Las Vegas High School. He ventured away from Nevada to 
attend the University of Utah and Stanford School of Law, but returned 
to his home state to begin his family and career. He is a father and 
grandfather and has dedicated more than two decades of his career to 
public service.
  Bruce has served as a member of the Clark County Commission since 
1981. For the last 17 years, he has served on the Regional 
Transportation Commission of Southern Nevada during a time when Clark 
County continues to be among the fastest growing counties in the 
country. Bruce has been instrumental in planning for this tremendous 
growth, including advocating for the construction of the Las Vegas 
Beltway and working for two decades to secure funding for the monorail 
that will soon carry millions of passengers each year.
  Bruce has dedicated himself to many community organizations, 
providing leadership for the Children's Museum, the Nevada Special 
Olympics, the Boulder City Chamber of Commerce, the Henderson Chamber 
of Commerce and the American Red Cross to name a few.
  Bruce Woodbury's talents, vision, integrity, and energy have made a 
lasting, positive impact on the Las Vegas Valley and its residents. I 
am proud to call him a friend and I am equally delighted to support 
legislation to name the Bruce Woodbury Post Office in Boulder City, 
Nevada.
