On the recordDecember 1, 2014
First, I would like to commend the sponsor of this bill, Mr. Amodei from Nevada, for his tireless work on this important piece of legislation. Because he will speak further on the details of this legislation, I will provide a very brief summary of the bill. H.R. 2455, as amended, requires that 45,000 acres of Federal land be held in trust by the U.S. to expand the reservations of several tribes residing in Nevada while requiring that this land may not be used for gaming purposes. The bill also directs the Secretary of the Interior to convey 275 acres of Federal land to the county of Elko, Nevada, to be used only as a motocross, bicycle, off-road vehicle, or stock car racing area. Again, I would like to thank the gentleman from Nevada (Mr. Amodei) for his legislation. I reserve the balance of my time.
