                           HELPING HOOVER DAM

  (Ms. LEE of Nevada asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute.)
  Ms. LEE of Nevada. Madam Speaker, this week marked the 95th 
anniversary of President Hoover signing the law that created the 
historic Hoover Dam in southern Nevada, marking nearly a century of 
generating clean hydroelectric power for millions of Americans.
  Sadly, not even a structural achievement as grand as the Hoover Dam 
is immune from aging, and its maintenance needs are mounting.
  That is why I have introduced the bipartisan Help Hoover Dam Act, a 
simple solution that would unlock over $45 million in existing and 
much-needed resources for this American icon, all at no additional cost 
to taxpayers.
  Much of the work that I do here in Congress focuses on cutting red 
tape to make government work better for Americans. This is a dictionary 
definition of that.
  I look forward to advancing this bill so we can make sure that the 
Hoover Dam continues to stand as tall and proud in the 21st century as 
it did in the 20th.
