It brings me a great deal of pleasure to offer my full support of this legislation here that is before us today, S. 737. As you know, this legislation, as has been described, will designate a facility of the United States Postal Service located in Yerington, Nevada, as the Joseph E. Dini, Jr., Post Office. Madam Speaker, it was my great honor and great privilege to work with Speaker Dini when we served together in the Nevada State Legislature. As a freshman legislator, I can speak from experience and fact that very early in my political career, Speaker Dini taught me some very valuable lessons about the passage of legislation, about bipartisanship and all the things that are important to doing a job as a public servant in a legislative body. Still to this day, after serving in our State legislature since 1967, Speaker Dini maintains his ability to put people before politics. Mr. Dini certainly is a natural leader.
