“the State of Nevada is a large State, one of the largest in the Union, 74 million acres. Nevada is also the most mountainous State in the Union except for Alaska. We have 314 separate mountain ranges. We have 32 mountains over 11,000 feet high. We also have vast extremes in weather. In the southern part of the State it is not unusual for places such as Laughlin, NV, in the southern tip of the State to reach temperatures of 120 degrees. In the northern part of the State we at times have the coldest place in the Nation, temperatures far below zero that remain for days at a time. The State of Nevada is also the fastest growing State in the Nation; we also have the fastest growing city and the fastest growing county: the city of Las Vegas city and Clark County. Every month, 7,800 new residents move into Clark County. So we have an unusual State. The reason I lay this on the Record today is that the State of Nevada desperately needs a highway bill. We desperately need a surface transportation bill brought before this body and debated and resolved.”
