CARSON CITY, NEV.-- Congressman Mark Amodei (NV-2) today issued the following statement regarding the Topaz Ranch Estates fire: 

"There's a saying in the wildland firefighter community that it's better to be good. We're grateful that the work product of the local and out of state personnel and type 2 incident management team speaks for itself. Loss of property is always tragic, but this could have been far worse.

"It's been a tough 180 days, but in the face of the terrain, fuel and weather conditions, this was a win for the good guys. 

"It's also worth noting, it was the first time in the fire season sage hen habitat was identified and incorporated into the planning. This will be a huge benefit in 18 months when we're trying to prevent an endangered species listing. Hats off to the wildland firefighters across the board."

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Congressman Mark Amodei (NV-2) today announced his cosponsorship of H.Con.Res. 115, Recognizing the 64th anniversary of the independence of the State of Israel. He issued the following statement.

Congressman Amodei:

"In a world full of uncertainty and adversaries who would do America harm, it's important we take time to recognize not only the 64th anniversary of the independence of the State of Israel, but also the enduring bond between our two nations. Israel stands as a shining example that democracy can indeed flourish in the Middle East. But that democracy requires vigilance, on their part and ours.

"In my office hangs a framed quote by John. F. Kennedy, which I think is particularly appropriate on this day:

 

                'Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe to assure the survival and the success of liberty.'"
