                      TRIBUTE TO DONALDO MCINTOSH

 Mr. HELLER. Mr. President, I wish to congratulate Donaldo 
McIntosh on his retirement after 58 years of service to Nevada and to 
the country. His hard work and dedication throughout the years is 
honorable.
  Mr. McIntosh started his career in 1957 as a military police officer 
in the U.S. Army. His service extended for 3 years, protecting those in 
his local community, as well as his country. After serving in the Army, 
Mr. McIntosh then spent the rest of his career working in the 
transportation industry for the city of Las Vegas. In 1970, he worked 
as safety director for the Las Vegas Transit System and Greyline Tours 
and then for Transportation Unlimited. His final years of service were 
spent as a transportation escort for the Pahrump Senior Center.
  I extend my deepest gratitude to Mr. McIntosh for his courageous 
contributions to the United States of America. His service to his 
country and his bravery and dedication earn him a place among the 
outstanding men and women who have valiantly defended our Nation. As a 
member of the Senate Veterans' Affairs Committee, I recognize that 
Congress has a responsibility not only to honor these brave individuals 
who serve our Nation, but also to ensure they are cared for after their 
service. I remain committed to upholding this promise for our veterans 
and servicemembers in Nevada and throughout the Nation.
  The Las Vegas community has greatly benefitted from the hard work of 
Mr. McIntosh. Today, I ask all of my colleagues to join me in 
congratulating Mr. McIntosh on his retirement. I offer my deepest 
appreciation for all that he has done to make the Silver State a better 
place and for his service to this country, and I give my best wishes 
for many successful and fulfilling years to come.
