“I applaud and commend the author of this legislation, with whom I joined, in presenting this legislation. For the State of Nevada, with the limited agriculture we have, and the very few rivers we have, the tamarisk is removing our agricultural possibilities, our recreational possibilities.

This will actually improve the environment of the State of Nevada. I want the record to reflect how much I, on behalf of the State of Nevada, applaud the Senator from New Mexico for offering this legislation.”
