                         HONORING SENATOR BRYAN

  (Mr. GIBBONS asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1


minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. GIBBONS. Mr. Speaker, I proudly rise today to recognize one of 
Nevada's great statesman who, at the end of this Congress, will be 
retiring from the United States Senate. Senator Richard Bryan, a native 
of southern Nevada, has been a leader from a very young age, ever since 
being elected president of his eighth grade class at John Park 
Elementary School.
  Senator Bryan's distinguished career in public service has spanned 
more than 3 decades, culminating with his two terms as a United States 
Senator.
  Throughout his tenure in the Senate, he has been committed to 
protecting Nevada's interest in Congress, and with only four Members in 
Congress to represent the entire State of Nevada, I learned during my 
first days here in the House the importance of a good working 
relationship with the other Chamber. It has been an honor for me to 
have the opportunity to work with such a fine legislator and dedicated 
Nevadan as Senator Richard Bryan.
  Mr. Speaker, I wish him all the best in his future endeavors after 
the 106th Congress comes to a close.
