                         TRIBUTE TO MARTA ADAMS

  Mr. REID. Mr. President, I rise today to recognize Marta Adams, who 
is retiring from her position as chief deputy attorney general for 
Nevada. For more than 27 years, Marta has been serving Nevada; and 
though many Nevadans may not know Marta, she has been working 
diligently to keep them safe.
  Soon after Marta graduated from the University of Wyoming College of 
Law in 1977, she began practicing law in the Silver State. She quickly 
gained experience in environmental law, and her knowledge about the 
West and its natural resources have contributed greatly to her 
successful legal career.
  Marta's persistence and commitment while representing the Nevada 
Agency for Nuclear Projects in opposing the Yucca Mountain project was 
instrumental in our State's legal fight against efforts to force 
nuclear waste on Nevada. Since 2008, Marta has worked as chief deputy 
attorney general and maintained a strong voice for Nevada on all issues 
pertaining to Yucca Mountain.
  On behalf of Nevada, I thank Marta for her decades of dedicated 
public service and wish her the best in her well-earned retirement.
