O God of Truth, who alone can lead men into the truth that is freedom and joy. We ask that You be our teacher as we seek to find the way of life in times that bewilder and challenge. Teach us better to know ourselves, that, knowing our weaknesses, we may be on guard. Teach us better to understand other people, that we may view their shortcomings with charity, their virtues with appreciation, and their kindness to us with gratitude. Be with the women and men of this chamber in all things great and small, so that small things become great and great things become possible. These things we ask in Your Name.
Amen.

Message To The Legislature Of Nevada
SeventY-First Session, 2001
Good evening and thank you, Mr. Speaker, Governor, Lieutenant. Governor, Mr. Majority Leader and other distinguished leaders:
I would be remiss if I did not say hello to Senator McGinness. The Senator’s son, Ryan, works for me back in Washington, D.C. I am very fortunate because I have many Nevadans working for me; I am especially happy, Senator, to have your son; he is doing a great job.
I was reminded again today as I drove down from Reno how much Nevada has changed, and how much Nevadans have not. As a teenager living in northern Nevada, I made that drive many times. Slide Mountain and Washoe Lake look a little different from Highway 395 than they did from Old Washoe Valley Road, but the Nevadans having breakfast at Heidi’s or a late lunch at Adele’s haven’t changed much at all. They are still talking about family weekends and Nevada values.
I am proud to speak to you today as a fourth generation Nevadan, as well as the 24th person elected from this state to serve in the United States Senate. I would like to acknowledge the man I replaced, a gifted leader in the Nevada Legislature, the state house and in the U.S. Senate, Dick Bryan. I will endeavor to serve Nevada as honorably as he did.
I have been in the Senate for a little more than a month. The first time I walked on the Senate floor, I felt—I suspect—much like many of you when you entered this hall for the first time after you were elected – exhilarated, yet humbled. I felt a sense of intense obligation and responsibility to my state, and to my nation.
It is this responsibility we share, federal and state legislators alike, which necessitates our working together first as Nevadans, above political party, above legislative body, above special interests. My message today is simple.
First, I want you to know that I am working for you in Washington, D.C. I need your input and ideas to be an effective leader for Nevada. My door is always open to those of you with issues and concerns.
Secondly, bipartisanship may be the cliché in Washington D.C., but I intend to work with people of all political persuasions to find and advance solutions to Nevada’s and our country’s challenges. An example of that bipartisanship can be found in the relationship Senator Harry Reid and I have developed. It started from the moment I was elected to office. We met and made a commitment to keep the lines of communication open and to work together. We talk on the phone several times a week and often have face-to-face meetings to discuss issues. The effort to work together extends to our staffs as well. Once a week Harry and I join our staffs for an informal breakfast to welcome Nevadans to Washington D.C. The gathering also gives us a chance to meet our constituents and listen to their concerns.
I have learned nurturing one-on-one relationships are a key to success in politics. I have spent the first few weeks in Washington D.C. meeting individually with members of the Senate. I do this because you can’t expect someone to vote with you or support your issues if they do not know who you are or what you stand for.
During the campaign I promised to be a strong voice while fighting for issues Nevadans care about most—issues like making our schools the best in the nation—and our nation’s schools the best in the world; making health care more affordable and accessible. I will fight to pass a National Patient Bill of Rights providing our seniors, throughout the country and here at home, with prescription drugs.
With the Nevada delegation I reaffirm my commitment to keep deadly nuclear waste out of our state.
President Bush has made education a top priority for the country and Governor Guinn has deemed it a top priority for our state. For me education is not only my top priority, it is my passion. Education has also become an economic issue. For our young people to compete in a global economy, they must have a great education.
Earlier today I met with a group of children and parents at Mendive Middle School. I was there to help honor more than 300 students for achieving excellence in citizenship. I applauded the students, their parents and their teachers for making character development as an important part of education.
I know that leaders of both parties in this hall share education as a top priority. Our teachers should be paid more, but also be held accountable. And one of the most important things we must to do for education is to allow our teachers and administrators to put discipline back in the classroom. In addition, for the first time, we must fully fund the federal share of special education.
Within a few weeks, the U.S. Senate will debate and vote on the Bush Education Plan, which incorporates these principals. During this debate I will fight to change the federal formula the government uses to disperse money to the states so Nevada students receive their fair share. In addition, this funding must come back to Nevada with drastically fewer federal mandates. Years ago, Kenny Guinn signed my high school diploma. I trust Kenny, the Nevada Legislature, and local school districts to have the needed flexibility to spend this money in ways that best help our children.
As an example, I want to allow federal dollars to complement programs like the Governor Guinn’s initiative to ensure elementary students are reading at grade level by the end of the third grade. This mirrors the reading goals set by the President Bush’s education plan. I also believe we need to make Head Start an early reading program instead of a daycare program.
When I talk about accountability, I want to be very clear that this debate will not rise or fall on vouchers. President Bush’s plan does include vouchers. It works by allowing parents to control Title I funding if schools fail them three years in a row.
Recently I met with a group of Nevada educators in Washington D.C. We had a frank discussion about school vouchers. Some told me they are not in favor of voucher programs. I, in turn, challenged them – come up with a better system that accomplishes these two things: hold the school accountable for the failure to educate our children and come up with a plan that actually helps the students that fail.
Our state’s motto is “Battle Born.” In addition, we face an uphill “battle” in Washington D.C. in our fight against nuclear waste and in our effort to ban legal college sports betting, a move that would hurt our state’s economy. We in the Congress, State Legislature, and Nevadans as a whole are facing legislative fights that are tantamount to the biblical battle between David and Goliath.
Working closely with our senior Senator, Harry Reid, I will continue to take our fight to every senator and directly to the new administration. As we say, there’s a new sheriff in town in Washington, D.C. who will certainly impact these Nevada issues.
During the presidential campaign then-Governor Bush made certain promises. We intend to hold the Bush Administration to those promises. The good news is it appears the temporary nuclear waste dump is dead and that’s great for Nevada. Now we must give 31 other states an alternative to storing their nuclear waste at Yucca Mountain.
Last week funding for new nuclear waste recycling technology, known as transmutation, was kicked off with a $34 million grant at one of our national labs in New Mexico. This is good, but it’s only a start.
For the first time ever, our Governor—in a bipartisan spirit—is committing substantial resources to educating other states on the dangers of nuclear waste. This $5 million investment together with local and private funds will assist our efforts in Washington D.C. to educate communities across the country. The battle on nuclear waste is a battle we cannot afford to lose.
Another threat to our state is the effort to ban legal sports betting. Last week our Congressional Delegation introduced legislation to combat illegal sports betting. Our bill attacks the problem instead of just being a cosmetic fix. It gives money and personnel to the Justice Department to fight organized crime and illegal sports betting. It also holds colleges and universities accountable for educating students on the problems of illegal gambling. Let’s keep legal sports gambling legal, well-regulated, and go after the real problem—illegal sports betting.
I have the honor of serving on several committees crucial to Nevada interests in the Senate: Commerce, Banking, the Special Committee on Aging, and the Small Business Committee. The Commerce Committee, and in particular, the Subcommittee on Aviation is an important position as we try to get more flights into Nevada. Our country needs several new airports. These new airports can provide for new direct flights into Nevada. From the Banking Committee’s jurisdiction on mass transit, I’ll be working to help ensure the funding for the monorail in southern Nevada that is so desperately needed.
I will also continue my focus on health issues. Medicare is especially important to us because of Nevada’s aging population. Today many seniors are forced to choose between buying their next meal or prescription medication. No one should have to make that choice. I am proud that while Congress was gridlocked, Nevada acted as one and led the nation in trying to solve the problem. I have worked closely with the Governor’s Office and will work to ensure whatever we do at the federal level fits well with what you have already done. I fully expect a bill adding a prescription drug benefit to Medicare will be signed into law this year.
I can remember when places like Fernley and Pahrump were truly considered part of rural Nevada. Now they are becoming bedroom communities for Reno and Las Vegas. With these changes, issues such as transportation funding, air quality, and school construction become more important to more Nevadans. We must not forget, however, that throughout rural Nevada communities are losing ground and losing jobs. The mining industry is defending itself from onerous regulations and the shrinking of the tax base is crushing rural schools.
Education, nuclear waste alternatives, prescription drug coverage for our seniors, the NCAA betting ban, and protecting our unique environment, are issues upon which we can come together. We must also remember we all have a responsibility to listen and fight for our fellow Nevadans—we can’t afford to get lost in the shuffle of self-interest. Now is the time to focus and work together for our children, our parents, and our fellow Nevadans.
Thank you for your time. God Bless Nevada and God Bless America.
