                                 ______
                                 

                               speech of

                           HON. ADRIAN SMITH

                              of nebraska

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, May 18, 2010

  Mr. SMITH of Nebraska. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the life 
and legacy of Nebraska native Floyd Dominy.
  Floyd, the longest serving Commissioner of the Bureau of Reclamation, 
recently passed away at the age of 100.
  His contributions to our nation will continue to be felt for 
generations. A true Nebraskan, he knew just how important access to 
water is for farmers, ranchers, and our communities.
  He dedicated himself to the projects which would supply the necessary 
water resources for both agriculture and recreational purposes.
  Earlier this week, the House of Representatives passed H.Res. 1327--a 
resolution honoring Floyd for the major role he played in the 
development of our nation's water infrastructure.
  Floyd was well known for his hard work and dedication, and I am proud 
to sponsor the resolution honoring Floyd's lifetime of service.
