Mr. Speaker, I rise today in support of H.R. 2254, legislation to name the United States Postal Service facility in Boulder City, Nevada, in honor of Clark County Commissioner Bruce Woodbury.

I introduced this legislation to pay tribute to one of southern Nevada's most distinguished citizens. I have worked closely with the members of the city council of Boulder City and the mayor of Boulder City, Robert Ferraro, to appropriately thank Commissioner Woodbury for his many contributions to the great State of Nevada and to our Nation.

Commissioner Woodbury is a native of Las Vegas and has resided in Boulder City, Nevada, since 1978. He is a graduate of Las Vegas High School and attended the University of Utah where he graduated Phi Kappa Phi, Phi Beta Kappa, and Magna Cum Laude. Mr. Woodbury then attended Stanford School of Law where he earned a Doctor of Jurisprudence and was a member of the Board of Editors of the Stanford Law Review.

In southern Nevada, Commissioner Woodbury has been active for many years as an outstanding civic leader. He has served as a member of the Clark County Commission for 21 years and on the Regional Transportation Commission of southern Nevada for 17 years, the last 11 as that body's chairman. He was also the founding father of the Clark County Regional Flood District and the Southern Nevada Water Authority.

Mr. Speaker, the impact and the magnitude of his contributions are seen by Nevadans every day. Commissioner Woodbury was instrumental in gathering support for the construction of the Las Vegas Beltway, the largest and most visible transportation project ever undertaken in Clark County's history. Through his leadership, Commissioner Woodbury has worked to minimize traffic delays, reduce inconvenience for drivers, and maintain access to local businesses. In addition, Mr. Woodbury has been very involved in local, civic, and youth organizations and is a proud father and grandfather.

It has been my privilege to work with Commissioner Woodbury on a variety of projects; and I can speak to his character as a leader, as a citizen, and as a friend.

Mr. Speaker, on a personal note, Bruce Woodbury is a quiet man. He actually was very embarrassed when I suggested we name the post office after him. Bruce does not like accolades. He is the first, the first man to give everyone else credit before taking credit for himself. Yes, he is quiet; but he is an effective leader, and he is one of the most visionary and caring individuals who has ever served as a public servant. His example sets the standard for all of us serving this great country.

Southern Nevada has grown almost threefold since Mr. Woodbury was elected, to almost 1.6 million people. There is not a project in Nevada that Mr. Woodbury has not touched, whether it be transportation, air quality, schools, health care, water quality, senior citizens, and taking care of our children.

As a matter of fact, when Bruce was first elected over 20 years ago, there was a major flood in southern Nevada. Bruce was there with a shovel helping citizens dig out their cars, their homes, their livestock, making sure they could get their families back in order. Bruce did not just sit back; Bruce then formed the Clark County Flood Control District. We have not had the same challenges that we had in 20 years because of Bruce Woodbury's leadership.

Let us talk about traffic for a second. Bruce travels to work about 20 miles every day and got tired of sitting around in traffic and decided to build and be the leader in developing the Las Vegas Beltway, because Bruce, although quiet, is effective and wanted to get the job done.

Mr. Speaker, as a Member of this body, I am truly honored to have served with Mr. Woodbury. He has been a mentor for me and many other public servants, and words truly cannot express my appreciation for all that he has done to improve the quality of life in Nevada.

I urge all of the Members of this body to support the legislation today.

Mr. Speaker, I move to suspend the rules and pass the bill (H.R. 2254) to designate the facility of the United States Postal Service located at 1101 Colorado Street in Boulder City, Nevada, as the ``Bruce Woodbury Post Office Building''.

Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent that all Members may have 5 legislative days within which to revise and extend their remarks on the bill currently under consideration.

Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume.

Mr. Speaker, H.R. 2254, introduced by my distinguished colleague, the gentleman from the State of Nevada (Mr. Porter), designates the facility of the United States Postal Service located at 1101 Colorado Street in Boulder City, Nevada, as the ``Bruce Woodbury Post Office Building.''

Mr. Speaker, this legislation honors a public servant whose contributions may not garner national attention; but in southern Nevada, few citizens are more highly regarded than Bruce Woodbury.

To those who live in and around the Third Congressional District of Nevada, Bruce Woodbury is known as a civic official who has been among the most influential in promoting the remarkable economic development of this booming region. He has chaired the Regional Transportation Commission of Southern Nevada for the last 11 years. In that capacity, his crowning achievement was securing the construction of the Las Vegas Beltway, probably the most ambitious transportation project ever in Clark County.

Bruce Woodbury also has served on the Clark County Commission in southern Nevada for 21 years. Mr. Woodbury has led this commission on the most important issues Clark County has had to face: health care, air and water quality, public transit, gaming, sanitation, and many others. His fellow commissioners have selected him to be the Chair of the Big Ben Water District Board of Trustees, the vice-chair of the Kyle Canyon Water District Board of Trustees, among several other posts.

Mr. Woodbury is also a partner at his law firm of Jolley, Urga, Wirth and Woodbury that has offices in Boulder City and in Las Vegas.

In his time away from work, he is also a member of the Boulder City Chamber of Commerce, Rotary Club, and Elks Lodge. Previously he has sat on the board of trustees at a bank, the Las Vegas chapter of the Red Cross, and the Nevada Special Olympics. Finally, he has been appointed to many state level councils, boards, and other panels, truly too numerous to name.

In whatever spare time that he can find, Mr. Woodbury loves to spend as much time as he can with his wife, Rose, and their seven children, Adam, Ashley, Benjamin, Melissa, Rebecca, Rodney and Wendy, and their seven grandchildren: Anna, Elias, Jess, Joseph, Samuel, and Silvie Jane.

I understand that the gentleman from Nevada, the sponsor of this legislation and former mayor of Boulder City, has worked together with Bruce Woodbury on countless efforts affecting the residents of southern Nevada. They have developed a close relationship, and I applaud my colleague from Nevada for his work on this meaningful measure. This post office in Boulder City, Nevada will hopefully soon be named after a truly wonderful, all-around American.

Therefore, I urge all Members to support the passage of H.R. 2254.

Mr. Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.

Mr. Speaker, I yield such time as he may consume to the honorable gentleman from the State of Nevada (Mr. Porter), the sponsor of this legislation.

Mr. Speaker, I have no other speakers at this time. Again, I want to thank my colleague, the gentleman from Nevada, for introducing this important legislation; and I thank the gentleman from Illinois as well. I urge all Members to support the passage of this legislation.

Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time.

Mr. Speaker, on that I demand the yeas and nays.
