                     CONGRATULATING STEVE TETREAULT

 Mr. HELLER. Mr. President, today, I wish to congratulate Steve 
Tetreault on his incredible career, bringing Nevada in-depth political 
news coverage from our Nation's Capital. It gives me great pleasure to 
recognize Steve for his unwavering dedication to the people of Nevada 
and for showcasing journalistic integrity and excellence throughout his 
tenure. Though he will be greatly missed by Nevada journalism and the 
Las Vegas Review-Journal, his future with the United States Department 
of Energy will be of great service to our country.
  Throughout my time serving Nevada in the United States Congress, 
Steve has been there to convey accurate and truthful news stories to 
the people of Nevada. From covering my very first experiences in the 
United States House of Representatives to writing about the most recent 
events in the United States Senate, Steve was there to capture both 
sides of the argument, bringing fair coverage from the entire Nevada 
delegation. Our relationship operated with a great amount of respect 
and understanding, and I am grateful for his professionalism. However, 
his jealousy of my impeccable beard-growing skills prompted him to also 
grow one of his own.
  Steve's insatiable appetite to cover important news stories and bring 
Nevadans pertinent political information made him an incredible 
journalist. He was always one step ahead, ready to share breaking 
political news, and had a genuine interest in painting the most 
accurate story for his readers. He will always be remembered for his 
top tier work at the Las Vegas Review-Journal.
  The insight and knowledge he gained throughout his career could never 
be replicated. He truly left his footprint in Nevada journalism, 
specifically at the Las Vegas Review-Journal, where he served as the 
Washington bureau chief. His writing has given the Silver State a 
detailed archive of Nevada's delegation throughout his years in 
Washington, a truly unique piece of our State's history.
  Steve has demonstrated absolute dedication to excellent reporting, 
bringing pertinent political news stories outside of the walls of the 
United States Capitol to audiences across Nevada. I am both humbled and 
honored by his hard work and am proud to call him a friend. Today, I 
ask all of my colleagues to join me in congratulating Steve Tetreault 
on his long and meaningful career at the Las Vegas Review-Journal. I 
give my deepest appreciation for all that he has done and offer him my 
best wishes for many successful and fulfilling years to come with the 
United States Department of Energy.
