                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. JON C. PORTER

                               of nevada

                    in the house of representatives

                       Monday, November 17, 2003

  Mr. PORTER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to the life-long 
artistic contributions of Cliff Segerblom to the Southern Nevada 
community. The Boulder City Arts Council will present ``Hanging with 
Cliff,'' a diverse selection of the artists works.
  The works of Mr. Segerblom chronicle the history of the ever-changing 
Nevada landscape from his original assignment as the official 
photographer for the Bureau of Reclamation at the Hoover Dam in 1938 
until his passing in 1980. Throughout this period, Cliff used a variety 
of media in portraying our environs in Southern Nevada, from the 
natural beauty that surrounds us to the feats of human endeavor that 
inspire us. I wish to thank Boulder City's most famous artist, and I 
urge all residents of Nevada to acquaint themselves with the powerful 
work of Mr. Cliff Segerblom.
