Mr. Speaker presiding.
Roll called.
All present except Assemblyman Marvel, who was excused.
Prayer by the Chaplain, Pastor Albert Tilstra.
Today we are reminded of the frailty of our lives. Our friend and coworker John Marvel, needs Your continued touch of healing. Many in this chamber are suffering other illnesses. We ask Your touch of healing and added strength as these men and women struggle with the pressures of deadlines this session. Then Father, You who has promised to lead us into all truth, prepare our hearts and minds for the business of this day, that we may behave with true courtesy and honor. Compel us to be just and honest in our dealings. Let our motives be above suspicion. Let our word be our bond. Save us from the fallacy of depending upon our personality, or ingenuity, or position to solve our problems.
Since You have answers, make us willing to listen to You, that we may vote on God's side, and that God's will may be done in us. Amen.
Pledge of allegiance to the Flag.
Assemblywoman Buckley moved that further reading of the Journal be dispensed with, and the Speaker and Chief Clerk be authorized to make the necessary corrections and additions.

MESSAGES FROM THE Senate
Senate Chamber, Carson City, March 4, 1999
To the Honorable the Assembly:
I have the honor to inform your honorable body that the Senate on this day adopted Senate Concurrent Resolution No. 18.
Mary Jo Mongelli
MOTIONS, RESOLUTIONS AND NOTICES
Senate Concurrent Resolution No. 18.
Assemblyman Price moved the adoption of the resolution.
Remarks by Assemblymen Price, Collins, Evans, Anderson, Carpenter, Chowning, Ohrenschall, Perkins, Humke, Cegavske and Mr. Speaker.
Assemblyman Perkins requested that the following remarks be entered in the Journal.
Assemblyman Price:
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. It is with great honor—but with great sadness—that I speak to the Assembly today in favor of Senate Concurrent Resolution 18. Jack was a good friend of mine. As we read about all that Jack was a part of, it is amazing to find that anyone could have done so much: he was involved in the community; worked on the behalf of friends and citizens; and he helped many organizations.
Those of us who lived near him in southern Nevada were amazed at the number of people he knew. It was just incredible. He was the one guy who could potentially pass Senator Richard Bryan in knowing everyone in the whole state and all over the country.
Those of us who were able to attend the ceremonies on his behalf after his death were able to feel the love coming from everyone, directed at him. One part of the ceremony involved people getting up and relating different events which had occurred in their life, which involved Jack. It went on for a long while. You could see how much interaction he had with people and how much he was loved.
One interesting thing at the ceremony was that Rosemary had all of Jack’s ties at the funeral. His friends were invited to take whichever one they wished. The tie that binds you to Jack. I am wearing one of Jack’s ties today.
You could see his involvement with the Thunderbirds and I have a Thunderbird pin on today. The Thunderbirds are in Assembly District 17.
Jack was loved by everyone in this building. You can talk to any of the staff or the people who have been with us here at the Legislative Counsel Bureau over the years, and they will tell you how loved Jack was. He had such sensitivity to citizens and to those he worked with and those who worked for him.
The thing I always remember—not to make light—was the wonderful jukebox at Jack’s home. It had a lot of country music in it.
I have great, adoring, but sad memories because he is not with us. But we know he is happy up there. We certainly want to be in favor of and to help with anything we can to carry on his legacy and show our love and respect.
Assemblyman Collins:
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I rise in support of this resolution memorializing Jack Regan. He was in the Assembly my first term here; he helped me in a morning committee and helped me in an afternoon committee, in so many ways. Even when we disagreed, he was informed and had a very logical answer, backed up with evidence.
Frequently, concerning North Las Vegas, when issues came up he and I would discuss them, and he would say, “I am with you 100 percent.” When we would go to a council meeting, whether it be with the friends of Kyle Ranch, the city council, an issue with zoning, or a neighborhood situation, he was always supportive of the folks he represented, as well as the folks in the entire community. So, I strongly support this. I am very grateful we are able to take this time to recognize such a good, fine man.
Assemblywoman Evans:
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I too rise in support of SCR 18. It is always difficult to say goodbye to our friends and colleagues. I will always remember Jack for his quick wit and his snappy one-liners. On the Interim Finance Committee, Jack could be quite a relentless interrogator. If he asked a question and did not get the answer he wanted, that person needed to look out; they were going to get a lot of heat from Jack. As we say goodbye to Jack, Rosemary, please know that you are very special to us and we will keep you in our thoughts and prayers.
Assemblyman Anderson:
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I also rise in support of SCR 18. It is pretty hard to capsulate, in words, the kind of person Jack Regan was to all of us. I knew, having served with him on a couple of committees, about his caring attitude and his true love of beauty. I think it is appropriate that we do this on a day the arts are here, because he did appreciate those things of beauty.
He sought out every member to find out what their particular concerns were and what were their interests and hobbies. In a short while, he would demonstrate in some way his understanding for their concerns. Being that this is Reading Week, I am particularly mindful of his concern regarding illiteracy in the prison population.
Jack pursued programs for people who sometimes seemed to be ignored by society. He looked for the downtrodden, to give them a spark of life every day, to give them hope for the future. That for me means who Jack Regan was. There is a hollow place in my heart; one I have hollowed out so that when I look about and see things are not looking good, I can ask myself, “I wonder what Jack Regan would do here?” This gives me strength. And I am sure it gives Rosemary strength, also. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
Assemblyman Carpenter:
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I also rise in support of SCR 18. Jack Regan became one of my best friends during our service here in the Legislature. Jack had a great understanding of our state, from the north to the south. I always admired him for standing up for what he believed in. I found him to be a hard but compassionate man. When the Suzy Q first came here, Jack attained my captain’s hat for me. I want to extend my love and condolences to his wife, and my friend, Rosemary.
Assemblywoman Chowning:
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I rise in support of SCR 18. Jack Regan used to say ‘The President is Reagan, I am Regan.” For those of you who knew him, you know how he paid close attention to detail.
We had the privilege of being elected at the same time, defeated at the same time, and came back again at the same time. We were the “comeback kids.” Our districts were adjacent to each other and I never knew Jack very well before I had the privilege of serving with him. Believe you me, since I served with him, I came to know him very, very well. There wasn’t anyone who worked harder than he did with constituents, trying to solve problems. It didn’t matter if they were rich or poor, or large or small, Jack was always there. I will miss him greatly. He was a dignified gentleman. Totally.
He fought for affordable housing and helped bring “Habitat for Humanity” to Nevada, one of the very first ones. He fought for those issues before they were popular. Thank you. I would like to honor his memory.
Assemblywoman Ohrenschall:
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I wish to join the others in extending my condolences to Rosemary. What can I say about Jack? He had boundless energy and ability. He always had time for people, including less senior legislators. This was very important. He did much for many, but he did his good deeds in a quiet way. He did not ask for publicity to surround what he did. His word was always his bond. He was always there for many of us younger people in the Legislature. Rosemary was there with him; to help with our professional and our personal needs. Thank you very much.
Assemblyman Perkins:
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I, too, rise in support of SCR 18. All the things we have heard today, I think, are as much a tribute to Rosemary as they are to Jack. You could never see Jack without seeing Rosemary in close proximity. It was very wonderful to see that.
In 1993, when I was first elected, I sat in the back row, second seat from the end. On one side was Dean Heller, and on the other, Jack Regan. If you don’t think that was culture shock.
The one thing which started our legislative session was Jack turning to me and saying, “How old are you?” When I told him, he said, “I’ve got boots older than you are.” From that point forward, I knew where Jack stood and he pretty much told me where I stood. That was just the kind of guy he was. You never misunderstood where he was coming from. He was always able to articulate that in fine fashion. I too want to share in our body’s support with the resolution.
Assemblyman Humke:
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I rise in support of SCR 18, as well, and second the remarks of the majority leader as to Jack’s wife, Rosemary. Our thoughts and prayers are with you today, also. I would just like to say that there is no end to the things that can be said about a man like this. You simply look for something different to say.
As an aside, I have a couple of personal anecdotes. I was once on an airplane bound for Las Vegas, where I was going to be for three or four days on business. To say that Jack’s word was good was an understatement. He always went the extra mile. He learned what the nature of my business was and said, “You will use my car. You will not rent a car.” He would take no answer other than “yes.” That was the type of man he was. Saying that he was the type of man that would give you the shirt off his back would be an understatement.
The one other tribute I would pay to him, was one that came up just this morning. I said to a seatmate, “Was Jack a Democrat or Republican?” I meant this as a tribute. He was truly an individual. Truly as nonpartisan as anyone ever has been in this body. I can think of no higher tribute to anyone with whom I have served.
Assemblywoman Cegavske:
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I rise in support of SCR 18. Being the new kid on the block last session, I had the pleasure of serving on the Interim Finance Committee with Jack Regan. It was a pleasure to get to know him. I also was able to travel with him to some of the national committees we were on, and Jack always made sure that the freshmen legislators were taken care of, that we didn’t get into any trouble, but also that nothing happened to us. I always appreciated that about him.
The one thing I did tell Jack was that he needed to get new “blond jokes.” He had more “blond jokes” than anybody I had ever met. He said he was safe to tell them because his wife wasn’t a blond. He also shared something else with me. My heritage is Norwegian and Jack loved the festivities of the Norwegians. As a matter of fact, Rosemary, that flag is in my office and we need to talk about that. I wanted to thank him for allowing me to have that flag in my office.
I echo everything that has been said. I won’t repeat it all. I want to thank you, Rosemary, for sharing Jack with us.
Mr. Speaker requested the privilege of the Chair for the purpose of making the following remarks:
Rosemary, we extend our condolences to you and all the family. Jack will be sadly missed. Jack was a real conservative. If you wanted to define conservatism, you looked at Jack Regan and his record, and the things that he did in these chambers. What I did, in working with him over the years, was develop a real strong relationship with Jack. He would take an interest in the rural areas, or Clark County, or Washoe County. It did not make any difference where it was. He put his philosophy to work, statewide. That is one of the real tributes that we have.
Jack, of course, had a little controversy when he went down to the Senate. If he had stayed here in the Assembly, he probably would have been all right. That's what happens to you over there. We do appreciate all the years of service he gave us here and extend our deepest regards to Rosemary and the family. Thank you.
Resolution adopted unanimously.
