                CELEBRATING 80TH BIRTHDAY OF BOB CASHELL

  The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mr. Mitchell). The Chair recognizes the 
gentleman from Nevada (Mr. Amodei) for 5 minutes.
  Mr. AMODEI. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to celebrate the birthday of a 
Nevada icon. I am sure you all recall that the State of Nevada turned 
150 a few years ago, and that the Biggest Little City in the World, 
Reno, is turning 150.
  Well, Bob Cashell, former University of Nevada regent, former Nevada 
lieutenant governor, and former mayor of the city of Reno, is past the 
halfway point in catching the State of Nevada and the city of Reno at 
150. He is 80, four score.
  A native of the Lone Star State, like many Nevadans, Bob got to 
Nevada as fast as he could. A leader in Nevada's gaming resort 
industry, an A list philanthropist, and a blue chip public servant, he 
has done some great work as a Nevadan.
  Of course, he owes all of his success, and his defiance of the 
actuarial tables, to his wife Nancy, who has performed miracles during 
their lifelong partnership of transforming this pilgrim from Texas into 
a special part of Nevada's fabric. Thank you, Nancy. And happy birthday 
to you, Mr. Mayor, for life. Bob Cashell is 80.
