Mr. Chairman, the proposed legislation If enacted would 

 not only bring jobs to Nevada bi't would expand her property 

 tax rolls. I join the Governor of Nevada, the other members 

 of the congressional delegation, the Nevada Association of 

 Counties, the Board of County Commissioners of Clark, and 

 Lincoln Counties, the City of North Las Vegas, the Ploche 

 Town Board, the Alamo Town Board, the Panaca Town Board, and 

 the Callente City Council in support of this measure. This 

 bill represents a sound balance between economic 

 diversification and environmental sensitivity. 



Mr. Chairman, 1 urge favorable consideration of this 

 measure and further urge markup by the full committee. 



Thank you again for this opportunity.
