                 150TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE NEVADA APPEAL

  (Mr. AMODEI asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. AMODEI. Mr. Speaker, New York Times, get out of the way. Chicago 
Tribune, San Francisco Chronicle, not good enough; keep trying harder.
  May 16 marks the 150th anniversary of the publishing of Nevada's 
oldest daily newspaper, the Nevada Appeal, published in its capital 
city, Carson City.
  I am here to say happy sesquicentennial birthday to the Nevada 
Appeal, which, by the way, was one of the first newspapers in the land 
that was owned by a woman, from 1878 to 1880.
  The paper has been a mainstay of Nevada journalistic enterprise. 
Forget it, Las Vegas Review-Journal, Las Vegas Sun, Reno Evening 
Gazette. These are the folks that have been there for 150 years.
  I couldn't be prouder because, as a matter of fact, in my more 
productive years, at the age of about 9 and 10, I was a paperboy for 
the Nevada Appeal and have a picture to prove it, with the paper bag 
with ``Nevada Appeal'' blazoned across it on the front of my Columbia 
Stingray bicycle that I delivered the papers on.
  Go, Nevada Appeal. Happy birthday to the publisher, Mark Raymond, and 
the editor, Adam Trumble. Way to go.
