                       IN MEMORY OF SCOTT CRAIGIE

  (Mr. HORSFORD asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. HORSFORD. Mr. Speaker, it was with great sadness that I learned 
that Scott Craigie, the former chief of staff for Governor Bob Miller 
of Nevada, passed away last Tuesday. He was a tireless advocate for 
seniors and children, and an effective one at that.
  Scott knew how to get things done. That is why he was put in charge 
of the successful Education First constitutional amendment campaign in 
2004, which forced the State legislature to vote on an education 
funding bill before any other appropriation.
  Scott also gave me my start in public service. He hired me for my 
first professional job in the legislative world, and I owe him my 
career. He believed in me and gave me a chance.
  Scott, I will do my best to continue fighting for those who need 
someone to stand up for them. Rest in peace, my friend. My thoughts and 
prayers are with your family, with our friends, and with the people of 
Nevada whose lives were touched because of you. God bless you.
