      By Mr. DOMENICI:
  S. 2508. A bill to redesignate the Ridges Basin Reservoir, Colorado, 
as Lake Nighthorse; to the Committee on Energy and Natural Resources.
  Mr. DOMENICI. Mr. President, I rise today with great honor and 
privilege to introduce a bill that would rename Ridges Basin Reservoir 
in Colorado as Lake Nighthorse after my dear friend and colleague, the 
Senior Senator from Colorado, Ben Nighthorse Campbell. It is fitting 
that the Ridges Basin Reservoir, which was created pursuant to 
legislation introduced and shepherded through congress by Senator 
Campbell, bear his name. I hope the United States Congress will give 
this legislation its every consideration.
  A veteran, Olympian, and public servant, Senator Campbell has 
selflessly devoted himself to serving his State and country for over 
half a century. During his seventeen years in the United State 
Congress, Senator Campbell has earned respect on both sides of the 
aisle as a consummate statesman and staunch advocate for the State of 
Colorado.
  As you know, Senator Campbell recently announced that he will not 
seek a third term to the United States Senate. This is a great loss to 
the Nation and to the great State of Colorado, but most of all, it is a 
significant loss to the Senate. His leadership and presence will be 
greatly missed by all of us. I wish him the best of luck in all of his 
future endeavors.
  I ask unanimous consent that the text of the bill be printed in the 
Record.
  There being no objection, the bill was ordered to be printed in the 
Record, as follows:

                                S. 2508

       Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of 
     the United States of America in Congress assembled,

     SECTION 1. RENAMING OF RESERVOIR.

       The reservoir known as the ``Ridges Basin Reservoir'' 
     located on the Animas River in Colorado, constructed under 
     section 6(a) of the Colorado Ute Indian Water Rights 
     Settlement Act of 1988 (102 Stat. 2975; 114 Stat. 2763A-260), 
     shall be known and designated as ``Lake Nighthorse''.

     SEC. 2. REFERENCES.

       Any reference in a law, map, regulation, document, paper, 
     or other record of the United States to the reservoir 
     referred to in section 1 shall be deemed to be a reference to 
     Lake Nighthorse.
