                 FUNDING NEVADA'S PRECIOUS PUBLIC LANDS

  (Mrs. LEE of Nevada asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Mrs. LEE of Nevada. Mr. Speaker, on behalf of Nevada's Third 
District, I rise today in support of the Great American Outdoors Act. 
This bill, which I cosponsored, will finally secure full, dedicated 
funding for the Land and Water Conservation Fund.
  This fund helps to conserve some of southern Nevada's most precious 
public lands, like Red Rock Canyon, Sloan Canyon, and Lake Mead.
  Coming together on such a vital issue is a reminder that Congress has

ability to rise above partisanship and find solutions that benefit us 
all. There is no issue more universal to all Americans and all people 
than protecting our planet. We can't keep kicking this can down the

Fund.
  In closing, my time was short with Congressman John Lewis, but I will 
forever be impacted and am eternally grateful for his leadership.
