WASHINGTON, D.C. --Congressman Mark Amodei (NV-2) today issued the following statement in support of his H.R. 3377, the Pine Forest Range Recreational Enhancement Act, which was heard before the Natural Resources Subcommittee on National Parks, Forest and Public Lands:
"The bill would ensure the lands are managed in a way sensitive to the needs of local community stakeholders, including traditional and historic uses, such as ranching, access for fishing, hunting, camping, and other forms of outdoor recreation, as well as fire management. It keeps open roads important to off-highway vehicle users and it conserves the pine forest for future generations.
"Hunters will always have a place in the pine forest to hunt mule deer, pronghorn, bighorn sheep, chukar partridge, and other game. The Blue Lakes complex, as well as the Onion Valley and Knott Creek reservoirs, will continue to be a destination for the thousands of anglers who visit each summer and fall.
"H.R. 3377 is a testament to what can be accomplished when people are focused and committed to a desirable outcome for all. The working group had its disagreements, but it pushed through them and came to a consensus. I am proud of the work that was done by my constituents in Humboldt County and I was honored to bring this legislation before the subcommittee today."

RENO, NEV. -- Congressman Mark Amodei (NV-2) today issued the following statement regarding the announcement that the U.S. Postal Service Reno Processing Center will remain open, preserving nearly 300 jobs. The facility had been a target of the USPS decision to close and consolidate post offices and mail processing facilities across the country.
"This is a win for Northern Nevadans both in terms of jobs and service. I appreciate the time that Mark Martinez, USPS manager of the Nevada-Sierra District, spent with me when I met with him in January to express my concerns about the potential closure.
"I'm pleased that the decision was made based on the facts on the ground. With the Reno Processing Center saved, we will continue to do what we can to protect the rural post offices."
