          HONORING THE LIFE OF MAJOR GENERAL ROBERT T. HERBERT

  (Mr. AMODEI asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. AMODEI. Madam Speaker, I rise today in honor of the life and 
memory of my friend, Major General Robert T. Herbert, of the Nevada 
Army National Guard.
  An adopted Nevadan, Bob began a 42-year career in the U.S. Army in 
1975 at the age of 18. After serving along the East-West German border, 
Bob moved to Nevada as a test pilot at the age of 25. Later in his 
career, Bob served as senior policy adviser and director of 
appropriations for Senator Harry Reid, from 2001 to 2017.
  Bob loved anything with a loud engine, having accrued more than 7,000 
flight hours as a pilot of both fixed and rotary-wing aircraft. He 
loved to ride his collection of motorcycles, took great pride in his 
customized truck, and was in the process of rebuilding a Pontiac 
Firebird.
  Both as a civilian and a soldier, Bob was respected and admired by 
anyone he interacted with, myself included. Simply put, Bob Herbert was 
an all-American consensus at everything he tried.
  I offer my condolences to his wife, Karen, his parents and family, 
and anyone else who was lucky enough to call him a friend, including 
you, Madam Speaker. We will miss you, General.
