GOV. GUINN ANNOUNCES APPOINTMENT OF PETE ANDERSON
AS STATE FORESTER/FIREWARDEN

CARSON CITY ¡V Gov. Kenny Guinn announced today that Pete Anderson has been named State Forester/ Firewarden.*2

Anderson, who has an extensive background in conservation, natural resources and forestry, officially assumed the position on July 1. He has served as Deputy State Forester for more than three years. Anderson, 52, will earn $87,991 per year.

Anderson replaces Steve Robinson, who was recently named Gov. Guinn's Natural Resources Advisor.

"Pete is highly respected in the forestry community and has a unique ability to form alliances with all levels of government," Gov. Guinn said.

Anderson received his degree in renewable natural resources, and wildland outdoor recreation from the University of Nevada, Reno in 1975. He has worked at the Nevada Division of Forestry for the past nine years. Anderson also worked for the Nevada Division of Environmental Protection, and the National Park Service in both Utah and Alaska.

"Our state is facing critical natural resource issues including forest and woodland insect and disease outbreaks, the rapid spread of invasive plant species in our rangelands, and a variety of impacts from wildland fires,¡¨ Anderson said. ¡§A comprehensive approach to the management of wildland fire in conjunction with our private sector, local, state and federal partners is critically necessary. No one entity can successfully deal with the growing complexities of wildland fire, but together Nevada is leading the nation in mitigating the threats of wildland fire. I am honored to have the opportunity to work with the many dedicated employees of the Division of Forestry."*3

A Strategic Plan for Education in China
By Peter C.C. Wang Ph.D.
Chairman and CEO Wang Center, Inc.
A California Nonprofit Corporation
July 4, 2004

China's population now exceeds 1.3 billion people and is expected to reach 2 billion by 2050. Just over half of the total current Chinese population is under the age of 24. One of the greatest challenges confronting China, and her relationship with the United States, is the education of her young people. Building schools and providing teachers for several hundred millions of students will cost staggering sums of money and will be an enormous and complex undertaking. The challenges are great but so are the opportunities!*3

My vision is that the international community can play a pivotal role in developing educators, the educational system and educational content that can change the world and to illustrate to Chinese authorities the great wisdom on international cooperation in promoting mutual prosperity, knowledge and peace.*4

The role I envision for the Wang Center INC is to facilitate cooperative initiatives to expose Chinese educators to the best international education practices, and demonstrate how extensive use of technology and distributed learning techniques are the logical, most efficient and cost effective way in which to address the current educational deficit and to involve educators, young people and other stakeholders in the United States and China in the development of relevant courseware. Given that the cost of Instant Messaging (IM) complete computers is dropping dramatically combined with the rapid expansion of open-source software, cost may no longer be a severely limiting factor in the wider use of information technology in education in underserved areas of the world.

What is urgently needed, however, is the development of high quality and relevant courseware, which includes educational software, audio and video programs. These programs must be distributed across the vast expanse of the entire country, from the great cities of Beijing, Shanghai to the smallest villages in the Gobi Desert. A comprehensive library of courseware programs that teach agriculture business related mathematics, languages, sciences, history and arts should complement and enhance the conventional school experience, as well as furnish a core curriculum for self-study and adult education. In order to take advantage of low-cost teleconferencing notebook computers and leverage the full potential of available technology we must develop courseware and training programs. An essential companion goal is training advanced IT professionals as human resources for this new pedagogical shift in education.

The world desperately needs innovative development of this kind. For many poor regions throughout the world, this offers unique opportunity to reduce the economic divide, which is the main reason why we live in such a confused world. We have an opportunity to redefine future education in the world through courseware development of content, which would be distributed through digital means by spreading basic useful, peaceful and safe knowledge to a great number of people. In turn, such knowledge would offer substantial hope to young people everywhere on earth. With digital network tools plus the latest teleconference desk top computers to distribute carefully developed courseware as content we can empower teachers to educate hundreds of millions of people including K-12 students in rural and remote areas of China. We would need to prepare large numbers of highly proficient IT professionals who will serve to support the education need. These professionals would make it possible to complete the IM environment for high school teachers including the maintenance, testing, management and integration of all educational content developed and other essential software need on all notebook computers used as teleconferencing systems.

To promote education in China is a gigantic task but the potential results are well worth the effort. The opportunity is open now and if people of vision and goodwill act I am confident that collectively we can have a significant impact on the future of China, the United States and the world! Time has finally arrived.

MISSION STATEMENTS:

The Wang Center INC supports educational projects in China to reduce the gap between the haves and have-nots with the following emphases:

Educate students with skills and knowledge that would help them to enter higher levels of educational opportunities in China.
Promote close collaborations and partnerships between China and United States in agriculture related business training through work-study programs located in Hartnell College, Monterey County, California.

BUSINESS PLAN:

To be presented after consultations with China and major sponsors from Foundations and Corporations with business interest in China.

In addition to the great and worthy goals of this initiative discussed above, it would be my motivation to provide additional scholarships at the Wang Center of Pacific Lutheran University and elsewhere for highly qualified and motivated students who show commitment to lifetime service in international business and Sino/US relations. Furthermore I hope to encourage and inspire others to join the cause of using technology effectively to promote education and literacy in areas of the world with an education deficit.

I firmly believe that the great companies of this century will be those who prove with their actions they can be profitable and increase social value-companies that both do well and do good. At a personal level, I believe we should and must embrace with the same goals.

My preference is to have the Deputy Premier of the State Council, in coordination with leading industrial, agricultural technology companies in the United States, in charge of this project to insure its future success and financial support. At that time the proposed management would be reorganized and shall be dedicated to raise funds for work-study programs and long term planning.

Our business model can be extended to cover all parts of the globe and is not limited to China.

taking a closer look at problems families face
in divorce and custody cases.

Moss, one of three new judges who took the bench in
January, has started a pilot program in cases where
one side accuses the other of gambling away child support or community assets. She refers the case to an agency for assessment.*3

Moss hopes other judges will address the issue as well. So does the Nevada Council on Problem Gambling . . .
August 17, 2001 Las Vegas Sun

"The goal is to share information with the judges on what is problem gambling, since they're encountering the consequences of it," says Carol O'Hare, executive director of the council. "We want to learn from them how we can make sure they have the resources to effectively deal with folks impacted by problem gambling."*4

Problem gambling is a mental illness, O'Hare says. Courts should deal with it in the same manner as drug and alcohol abuse.*5

U.S. Secretary of Labor Elaine L. Chao Outlines Accomplishments of High-Level U.S. Department of Labor Delegation to China
By GSBPA of WBTI*1

At the invitation of the Chinese Ministry of Labor and Social Security, U. S. Secretary of Labor, Ms. Elaine Chao, visited China from June 21 to 24 in 2004. The U. S. Secretary of Labor Elaine L. Chao said in Beijing on Thursday, June 24, 2004 that her visit to China was fruitful.

"Chao signed four agreements during her trip to enhance cooperation in raising the living standard and working conditions for employees. She also announced the US would donate 3.5 million US dollars to China to help combat AIDS through workplace education program," reported the Xinhua News Agency on Thursday, June 24, 2004.*2

"She hoped through exchanging information, the two sides can raise living standards for workers, foster safe working environment for workers, and protect workers' rights in accordance with relevant international labor principles while respecting the national laws of both the United States and China," the Agency continued.*3

U. S. Secretary of Labor Elaine Chao received her B. A. degree in Economics with straight A's for all her four years at the famous Mount Holyoke College in New England. She obtained her M. B. A. degree from Harvard University in 1979. She also studied at M.I.T., Dartmouth College, and Columbia University.

At the time she was nominated by President Bush as the Secretary of Labor, she told her father that she does not intend to be an "Authoritative Official". She hoped that she could contribute to our society and nation.*4

Secretary Chao has received numerous awards for her professional accomplishments and community service. She is the recipient of 21 honorary doctoral degrees from colleges and universities around the world.

Secretary Chao is married to the Majority Whip of the United States Senate, Senator Mitch McConnell of Kentucky.

"Elaine L. Chao is the nation's 24th Secretary of Labor, representing a new generation of American leadership. Since her confirmation by the United States Senate on January 29, 2001, she has been dedicated to carrying out the Department of Labor's mission of inspiring and protecting the hardworking people of America. She is respected as an effective and articulate champion of the nation's contemporary workforce, acting quickly to focus the Labor Department on the modern realities of workers' lives." *5

"When President George W. Bush nominated Elaine L. Chao, the first Asian-American woman appointed to a President's cabinet in U.S. history, he described her as an individual with “sstrong executive talent, compassion, and commitment to helping people build better lives."

According to the U. S. Department of Labor, Secretary Elaine Chao's compassionate nature stems from her own background as an immigrant to this country at the age of eight. Her family's experience transitioning to a new country, supported by one another and the kindness of friends and neighbors, taught her that encouragement is the key to fostering independence, and that Americans are naturally compassionate people. This inspired her to dedicate most of her professional life to ensuring that people have the opportunity to pursue lives of dignity and financial independence.

As Director of the Peace Corps, Ms. Elaine Chao was one of the first Americans to personally embrace the people of the former communist bloc into the family of democratic nations, establishing Peace Corps programs in the Baltic nations of Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia and the newly independent states of the former Soviet Union. Later, as President and Chief Executive Officer of United Way of America, she restored public trust and confidence after the organization was tarnished by mismanagement and financial abuse, thus preserving the nation's largest institution of private charitable giving.

The experience Ms. Elaine Chao gained at the United Way helping communities address their local needs prepared her to mobilize the Department of Labor to promote pathways to economic freedom for individuals and families working to achieve the American Dream. She describes her vision for America's workforce as “oone in which everyone can participate where jobs and opportunities are available for those leaving welfare, job training is accessible for those left behind, disability never bars a qualified person from the workplace, and where parents have an easier time balancing the responsibilities of work and home.

"Secretary Chao's previous government career includes serving as the Deputy Secretary at the U.S. Department of Transportation, Chairman of the Federal Maritime Commission, and Deputy Maritime Administrator in the U.S. Department of Transportation. She brings a wealth of business experience to the post, having worked as Vice President of Syndications at BankAmerica Capital Markets Group and a banker with Citicorp. Prior to her nomination as Secretary, she expanded her study of policy as a Distinguished Fellow at The Heritage Foundation, a Washington-based public policy research and educational institute. She was selected as a White House Fellow in 1983," states the Department.*6

"With the excellency of knowledge, humanity, and patriotism inspired by Elaine Chao, Washington Business and Technology Institute (WBTI) has continued its many years effort to community service and spiritual belief. Nevada is honor to have WBTI under her spiritual Chairpersonship and I am especially honor to be a M.I.S. Manager of the Graduate School of Business and Public Administration of WBTI," humble as he is, River Sun chatted excitedly during the celebration dinner party at the Gee Joon Chinese Restaurant of Horseshoe Club. The Moon Festival of Midautumn has been many thousand years celebrated as a day for patriotism by the Chinese people in the Far East and Southeastern Asia. The party was held by WBTI in Las Vegas on September 11, 2003.

Following the inspiration of the past many years of the accomplishment of Ms. Elaine Chao's contribution of humane spirit to our society, we have the persistense of Wou Shien's spirit for education here in America. If a coolie and hard woker like him could dedicate to eduction by offering all his income and life to build a school for children in his village, what should not for us to offer our efforts for our community? *7

"The mission of this School [Graduate School of Business and Public Administration (GSBPA) of Washington Business and Technology Institute (WBTI)] will emphasize the humanitarian orientation of public administration and the social responsibility of business management. Through academic entrepreneurship, we may expect the endeavor of this School for the community service based on humane spirit, led by Chairperson Elaine Chao of WBTI," said Dr. Dina Titus, Adjunct Professor of Administrative Strategies in GSBPA.*17 Nina Titus was born May 23, 1950 in Thomasville, Georgia. She graduated from College of William and Mary with A.B.. She received her M. A. and Ph. D. degrees from University of Georgia and Florida State University, respectively. She is a Senator and Minority Floor Leader of Nevada Senate. Dina is also a professor of Political Science in UNLV.*8

It is our pleasure to post the Press Release of the U. S. Department of Labor from Washington, D. C. on June 24 as in the following:

News Release
OPA News Release: [06/24/2004]

Phone Number: (202) 693-4676

U.S. Secretary of Labor Elaine L. Chao Outlines Accomplishments of High-Level U.S. Department of Labor Delegation to China
Four-Day Trip of High-Ranking U.S. Labor Officials Highlights Expanded Efforts to Strengthen Worker Protections

BEIJING¡XU.S. Secretary of Labor Elaine L. Chao outlined the accomplishments of the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) delegations¡¦ four-day trip to China today in a joint press conference with U.S. Commerce Secretary Don Evans. The news conference was held at the Marriott Renaissance Hotel.*9

Secretary Chao's trip included the signing of four letters of understanding between the U.S. Department of Labor and The People's Republic of China (PRC) that broaden cooperation between the two countries in the areas of labor, employment rights, workplace safety, and help promote internationally recognized core labor standards in China. During the four-day trip, discussions were also conducted about The Rule of Law Project and a mine health and safety project.

¡§The agreements signed on this trip are the next step in the Labor Department's ongoing efforts to work with China to promote internationally recognized core labor standards,"said U.S. Secretary of Labor Elaine L. Chao. ¡§These agreements will help Chinese officials develop the institutional capacity to improve working conditions and raise standards of living for Chinese workers. They address improvements in the areas of worker safety and health along with the regulation and enforcement of wage and pension laws, and the rule of law. In addition, today I am announcing that the Labor Department will direct $3.5 million to China to help combat HIV/AIDS through workplace-related education programs this year.¡¨

Secretary Chao is the first U.S. Secretary of Labor to visit the People's Republic of China since 1988 and only the third U.S. Secretary of Labor to visit China in history. Underscoring the importance that the U.S. delegation places on working with the People's Republic of China on Labor issues, the Secretary¡¦s delegation included the Assistant Secretary for Employment Standards Victoria A. Lipnic; Ann L. Combs, Assistant Secretary of the Employment Benefits Administration; Assistant Secretary for Mine Safety and Health David D. Lauriski; and John L. Henshaw, Assistant Secretary for the Occupational Safety and Health Administration.

The Secretary and the U.S. Department of Labor delegation also toured a U.S. manufacturing plant, Beijing Johnson Controls Inc., operating in China. Secretary Chao noted that jobs are being created in the United States when American products and services are used for the vast Chinese markets. The Secretary¡¦s delegation also toured a women's migrant training facility and visited Langfang Children's village, an American-funded orphanage that serves special-needs children.

In the first two letters of understanding, Ann L. Combs, Assistant Secretary Employee Benefits Administration, and Victoria A. Lipnic, Assistant Secretary for Employment Standards, U.S. DOL, signed with Liu Xu, Director General for International Affairs at the Ministry of Labor and Social Security (MOLSS), PRC. The letters of understanding establish a framework for the two countries to discuss the regulation, administration and oversight of pension programs through mutually agreed cooperative activities. Also outlined are additional activities in the area of wage and hour law administration. The agencies intend to broaden their cooperation in the areas of wage and hour regulations and enforcement, compliance assistance and public awareness of wage and hour laws, and effective management and analysis of wage and hour enforcement data.

The third and fourth letters of understanding will focus on new joint cooperation in the areas of occupational safety and mine safety and health. Signing for the U.S. Department of Labor was John Henshaw, Assistant Secretary for the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, and Dave D. Lauriski, Assistant Secretary for Mine Safety and Health. Signing for the People's Republic of China was Lin Yisheng, Deputy Director General for Department of Foreign Affairs, in the State Administration of Work Safety (SAWS). In the area of occupational safety and health, the letter of understanding outlines new cooperative efforts between the two countries including: regulation and inspection relating to the handling and distribution of hazardous chemicals; emergency response procedures in workplace accidents; private insurance programs in the promotion of workplace safety and health; and effective collection and analysis of occupational safety and health data. The fourth letter of understanding highlights mine safety issues, including: emergency response procedures for mine accidents and incidents and the effective collection and analysis of mine safety and health data.

The agreements broaden the ongoing cooperation between the U.S. DOL and its counterparts in the PRC MOLSS and SAWS. Through these agreements, there will be an exchange of officials, experts and information. The agencies reaffirmed their common objectives¡Xas stated in previous agreements¡Xto foster economic growth and raise living standards for workers; support widely-shared prosperity; foster safe working environments for workers; and foster workers rights in accordance with relevant international labor principles while fully respecting the national laws of both the United States and China.

The U.S. Department of Labor also announced a $3.5 million grant to help combat HIV/AIDS through workplace-related education programs. The funds are part of the $9.5 million grant from the DOL to the International Labor Organization (ILO) that supports these types of programs worldwide. The project in China is designed to educate workplaces about the standards of healthcare associated with persons living and working with HIV/AIDS. The Chinese Ministries of Labor, Social Security and Health, working with the ILO and the U.S. Department of Labor, will develop information to educate workers on the prevention of HIV/AIDS.

Through a $4.1 million grant, the U.S. DOL has already been collaborating with Chinese officials in the development of The Rule of Law Project. The rapid growth of private investment in China¡¦s economy during the past 10 years has far outpaced the government¡¦s ability to set up effective industrial relations systems to manage a range of new workplace issues. In response, the U.S. Department of Labor, through a consortium of implementing organizations, is assisting the Ministry of Labor and Social Security in China to more effectively address workers rights issues in a market economy.

In addition to the $4.1 million Rule of Law grant, the U.S. DOL working with the Chinese State Administration for Work Safety also funded a $2.3 million grant in late 2002 to enhance Mine Safety and Health in China. As the world¡¦s largest coal producer with rudimentary safety and health mechanisms in place, China has experienced a high number of worker deaths in their coal mines. The U.S. Department of Labor is working with relevant government bodies to develop mine rescue techniques and institutionalize the systematic training of government and mine personnel in those techniques; to strengthen the capacity of government personnel to promote and enforce workplace safety and health laws in Chinese mines; to train miners and mine operators in safe operational methods and practices; and to develop pilot projects to demonstrate the benefits of safer techniques in mines.*10

***** Neswbrief of WBTI on February 4, 2004 *****

An Event and Dinner Party will be held by the Asian American Group
to pay a special tribute to Justice Myron Leavitt
By Tiffany Chang

On Wendesday, January 4, 2004, the Asian American Group of Asian American Community in Nevada will hold an event and dinner party.*12 At 7:00 - 9:30 p. m., the location will be at the Harbor Palace Restaurant , China Town, Las Vegas. The Event is for a Special Tribute to Justice Myron Leavitt.

It planned to invite Chief Justice Debra Agosti of the Nevada Supreme Court and District Judge of Nevada Michelle Leavitt as Keynote Speakers.

The following individuals had been planned as Event Chairpersons: David Amesbury, Esq., General Counsel --- CAN-DO; Raj Chanderraj, MD, Founder, Friends of India; Benson Lee, Esq., President, Chinese American Citizens Alliance of Las Vegas; R. D. Prabhu, MD, Chairperson, CAN-DO; among others. It planned to have Event Hosts: Dolly DeLeon, Past President, Philippine Chamber of Commerce, and Editor-in-Chief, "US Asian Chronicle"; Romeo Jurani, Past President, Philippines Bisayans Society of Nevada; Steven Kwon, Past President & Founder, Asian Chamber of Commerce; Vimla Lendway, Exceptional Travel Service; L. Kristopher Raft, Esq.; Rita Vaswani; Joey Villaflor, MD, Chairman, Board of Health; among others.

It is our regret not being able to post the names and titles of many important and special guests including some more hosts, because we could not get an update of the above list since January 20, 2004.

All of the guests will be about 200 people. Attire for the event and party is business. Guests whom invited by Dr. Tony Lei, Chairman of Chinese American Academic Association of Nevada and his wife Judy are: Miss Agnas Chan, Ms. Helen Hsueh, Mr. Jimmy Hsu, Miss Christine Hu, Mr. Xiao-sheng Huang , Mr. Raymond Lam, Mr. Mark Meng, Mr. Ja Pu, Dr. An-pyng Sun, and Mr. Yuan Chuan Tsai.

It was already popular for the past years to hold dinner parties to pay special tribute to elected offficials, but most of them were civil administratives or civic representatives. Dr. Tony Lei initiated to hold event and dinner party to pay a spcial tribute to the judicial professionals through elections in Nevada. Justice Nancy Becker was the first one selected by him to pay a tribute. A successful event and dinner party was held for her on May 23, 2001 at Harbor Palace Restaurant in Las Vegas. It was chaired by Dr. Tony Lei, President of Washington Business and Technology Institute (WBTI); Theresa Malone, Member of Nevada State Board of Education; Dr. R. D. Prabhu, Chairperson of CAN-DO; and Dr. Joey Villaflor, Member of Nevada Board of Health. We the Asian American communities have continuously achieved the efforts for other judicial professionals since then.

"To dedicate to the creed of Washington Business and Technology Institute, it's my challenge as an Associate Fellow of it's Public Administration Institution (PAI) to endeavor with all the intellectuals of this Institute to improve the quality of life of the people of Nevada," said Jennifer Togliatti at the Dinner Party on May 17, 2002. The Event with dinner was held by the Asian American Community to pay a special tribute to District Judges Michelle Leavitt and Jennifer Togliatti at the Harbor Palace Seafood Restaurant in Las Vegas.

Judge Michelle Leavitt deserves special recognition of her expertise, integrity, conscientious and dedicated professionalism. She has been a bright Associate Fellow of PAI since 2000. "Thanks to Dr. Tony Lei, Dr. R. D. Prabhu, and Attorney David Amesbury to chair this Event and Party. Together with knowledge as the power of rightiousness, we may build a community where this and future generations will have more opportunities and advantages to live a prosperous and healthy life," said Judge Michelle Leavitt at the Dinner Party.*13

We are deeply regret and sorry that Judge Michelle Leavitt's father passed away weeks ago on a Friday. Myron Leavitt, 73, a Justice of the Nevada Supreme Court, who had a long political career in Nevada. He was born in Las Vegas. Myron was a football and track athlete at the University of Nevada at Reno, where he earned a journalism degree. He worked a year as sports editor of the Las Vegas Review-Journal before studying law at the University of Utah.*14

Myron had private law practice for 28 years. He served as a Councilman of Las Vegas, a Commissioner Clark County and a Justice of the Peace before winning election as Lieutenant Governor of Nevada from 1979 to 1983.

Leavitt served as a Clark County District Court Judge for 15 years before winning a Supreme Court position as one of its Justice in 1998.*15 The late Myron Leavitt is honored as a Memorial Fellow of the Public Administration Institution (PAI) of Washingoton Business and Technology Institute (WBTI) on February 4, 2004.

"I can't help thinking about Justice Myron Leavitt, our long time Asian American friend of Nevada, who died so unexpectedly. This brings to my mind the urgency of our times in Las Vegas. We note the vanishing of many heroes that built the world of Nevada after 1963. We recognize that the best way to honor those who have gone before us is to rise up and find the greatness in our own lives, the strength of charater, the vision and courage, the determination and selflessness to address the challenges that still lay before us," says Dr. Tony Lei, President of WBTI, for the Event and Dinner Party held by the Asian American Community of Nevada on February 4, 2004 in Las Vegas.

Asian American Community has won recognition for contribution to Nevada by the American Mainstream. The main reason for this recognition is the great and cooperative wisdom and effort that we the Asian American communities have continuously participated and offered to the mainstream society in Nevada.*16

U. S. Senator Harry Reid's "WHIP ROUND UP" to Dr. Tony Lei through both the e-mail and fax on Friday July 9, 2004
By Office of the Assistant Democratic Leader of U. S. Senate and PAI of WBTI*1

We are pleased to post the "WHIP ROUND UP" from the Office of Assistant Democratic Leader of the U. S. Senate in Washington, D. C. on July 9, 2004.

"Friday's federal court ruling on Yucca Mountain is a huge victory for Nevada. The court realized that the environmental safeguards on the project simply aren't strong enough. I hope it will help put an end to this misguided plan to dump nuclear waste in our state," stated in the 'Reid's Words' on the "WHIP ROUND UP"*2 just published. It was faxed by the Office of U. S. Senator Harry Reid from Washington D. C. to Dr. Tony Lei in the afternoon on July 9, 2004.*3

The following is Reid's "WHIP ROUND UP":

Reid for Nevada
Nevada Wins Court Ruling On Yucca Mountain
Senator Harry Reid hailed Friday's decision by the U.S. Circuit Court in Washington D.C., which ruled that environmental safeguards on the Yucca Mountain nuclear repository are not strong enough to protect the people of Nevada from the dangers of nuclear waste. Reid, who has fought Yucca Mountain for years, predicted that the ruling will help kill the project for good.*4

Reid, Ensign Win $4.5 Million for Better Equipment for U.S. Troops
Senators Harry Reid and John Ensign have set aside $4.5 million in the Defense Appropriations budget for a Nevada company to supply troops with high-tech personal flashlights. The lights are designed and manufactured by Reva International, a Reno-based company, and will help keep troops safe during nighttime operations.

Reid, Ensign Cheer Funds for Youth Soccer
Boulder Dam Area Council Boy Scouts of America were awarded $14,000 thanks to Senators Reid and Ensign. The grant will help expand the area's soccer program and provide more opportunities for disadvantaged Hispanic youths in Las Vegas.

Reid, Ensign Announce Loans for Fallon, Churchill County
Fallon residents will benefit from a new sewer facility thanks to a $2,042,758 Rural Development Loan announced by Nevada Senators Harry Reid and John Ensign. Meanwhile, a training facility for disabled citizens in Churchill County will be expanded thanks to a $200,000 loan.

Reid Secures $6 Million for Hawthorne
Senator Reid has secured funding that will equip the Hawthorne Army Depot with the latest technology to dispose of the military's old weapons. This is the third year in a row Reid has secured $6 million for the Depot in the Senate Defense Appropriations bill.

Working with Nevadans
?Las Vegas student Cortney Tuggle met with Senator Reid while in Washington for the National Young Leaders Conference.
?/B>Senator Reid met with Presidential Classroom student Lauren Liebhardt of Las Vegas during her visit to the Capitol.
?/B>Lead America students - Jessica Barba, Supriya Beach and Ashley Stevens - met with Senator Reid while in D.C. for a leadership conference.

***Shari Buck, Councilwoman for North Las Vegas, Congresswoman Shelly Berkley and Senator Reid celebrate the inauguration of the new MAX bus service between downtown Las Vegas and Nellis AFB. The service, which will serve as a national model, combines the comfort and quality service of rail with the economy and efficiency of a bus.

Week in Review
Senate Backs Youth Suicide Prevention - Senator Reid's legislation on youth and adolescent suicide prevention passed the Senate Thursday night. Senator Reid introduced the bill with Senator Gordon Smith (R-OR), whose 21-year-old son, Garrett, committed suicide last year. The legislation, known as the Garrett Lee Smith Memorial Act, would target resources to states like Nevada that have higher rates of youth suicide, and expand prevention programs to families and at-risk youth.

Australia, Morocco Free Trade Agreements Loom - Following disposition of the Family Marriage Amendment next week, the Senate will likely consider a pair of free trade agreements for Australia and Morocco. Under the fast-track rules for trade measures, each agreement is subject to 20 hours of debate with no amendments in order. Both agreements eliminate or severely reduce tariffs and quotas on the trade of goods and services with the United States.

Class Action Reform - Efforts to reach agreement on bipartisan class action reform died this week, as the Majority Leader severely limited the number of Republican and Democratic amendments that could be offered to the bill. Without an opportunity to offer amendments, Senators from both parties objected to proceeding on the measure, leading to the defeat of a cloture motion on Thursday and spelling an end to the legislation for the time being.

Congress Stalled On Highway Bill - Senator Reid warned Thursday that Congress might not complete a comprehensive transportation bill that would provide billions of dollars for highways and other projects. Reid made the assessment after House and Senate negotiators failed to reach a compromise on spending for the six-year period. The House approved $283.2 billion in its bill while the Senate okayed $318.9 billion. President Bush has threatened to veto any bill higher than $256 billion.

INSIDER'S CALENDAR
The Senate will convene Monday July 12 at 1 p.m. and resume consideration of the Motion to Proceed to S.J. Res. 40, the Constitutional Amendment on Marriage Resolution, with the time until 6 p.m. equally divided between the Chairman and Ranking Member of the Judiciary Committee.
No roll call votes will occur on Monday.
The Senate is expected to continue consideration of the resolution on Tuesday and Wednesday, with a vote in relation to the resolution on Wednesday.
Following disposition of the Marriage Resolution, the Senate is expected to consider the Australian Free Trade Agreement.

Reid's Words
"Friday's federal court ruling on Yucca Mountain is a huge victory for Nevada. The court realized that the environmental safeguards on the project simply aren't strong enough. I hope it will help put an end to this misguided plan to dump nuclear waste in our state."*5

Governor Kenny Guinn of Nevada's statement on U.S. Court of Appeals DECISION
By Office of the Governor and GSBPA of WBTI*1

It is our pleasure to post the following Press Release from the Office of Nevada Governor Kenny Guinn to Dr. Tony Lei, President of Washington Business and Technology Institute (WBTI), just a few minutes ago. This is a great news for all our citizens, residents, and vivitors of Nevda. It is bright for Kenny to say: "I truly believe Nevadans can sleep more peacefully tonight, confident in the knowledge that...."

Gov. Guinn statement on U.S. Court of Appeals DECISION

CARSON CITY - Gov. Kenny Guinn released the following statement regarding today's U.S. Court of Appeals' decision regarding Nevada's Yucca Mountain cases*2:

"This is an important victory for the State of Nevada and a major setback for the Department of Energy's effort to place nuclear waste in our state. Today's ruling by the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals reinforces what the State of Nevada has said all along: that the science used by the Department of Energy is not sound nor is it safe, and that the 10,000-year standard used by the Environmental Protection Agency is woefully inadequate and is inconsistent with the Congressionally-mandated recommendations of the National Academy of Sciences. I truly believe Nevadans can sleep more peacefully tonight, confident in the knowledge that there is recognition in our courts that the EPA deliberately rejected the sound advice of the scientific community and adopted a standard that runs contrary to the health, safety and well-being of the citizens of Nevada. I would like to congratulate Attorney General Brian Sandoval and the state's talented legal team for working so hard and so successfully in bringing out about this important victory today."*3

Dr. Kenny Guinn is Chairman of the Advisory Board of Washington Business and Technology Institute (WBTI).

BRIAN SANDOVAL was sworn in as Nevada's Attorney General on January 6, 2003. Sandoval graduated from the University of Nevada and The Ohio State University College of Law.*4

As Attorney General, Sandoval is committed to fighting crime, protecting seniors and children from fraud and abuse and preserving integrity in government.

As the state's chief law enforcement officer, Sandoval will lead a staff of 350, including 140 lawyers, and administer a budget of $42 million. Among many other responsibilities, the Nevada Attorney General's office prosecutes consumer, insurance and worker's compensation fraud cases, provides legal counsel to all the Nevada state agencies and is responsible for almost all state prison litigation matters.

Prior to his election as Attorney General, former Governor Bob Miller appointed Sandoval to the Nevada Gaming Commission in 1998. One year later, Governor Kenny Guinn named Sandoval as the Chairman of the Commission. At age 35, he was the youngest person in Nevada history to serve in that capacity. Governor Guinn also appointed Sandoval to serve as the Chairman of the Nevada Gaming Policy Review Panel.

Under Sandoval's leadership, the Commission adopted regulations that limited neighborhood gaming, prohibited child-themed slot machines, enhanced assistance for problem gamblers and strengthened protections for athletes associated with legalized sports betting. As Chairman, Sandoval also testified before the United States Congress, the Nevada Legislature, and several gaming conferences in the United States and Canada.

Before his Commission appointment, Sandoval served two terms in the Nevada Legislature, where he sponsored fourteen bills that became law. These bills provided additional protections for children, increased penalties for criminals and tax savings for Nevada residents.

As a Legislator, Sandoval also served on the Nevada Legislative Commission, the Advisory Commission on Sentencing, the Juvenile Justice Commission, the Advisory Council for Community Notification of Sex Offenders and the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency Oversight Committee.

After serving in the Legislature, Sandoval spent three years as the Nevada at large member of the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency Governing Board.

Brian Sandoval is a member of the Nevada State Boards of Pardons, Prisons, Examiners, Transportation, Domestic Violence and Private Investigators and the Boards of Trustees for Children's Cabinet of Reno, Nevada, KNPB Channel 5 (PBS Station), St. Jude's Ranch and the Washoe County, Nevada Law Library.

Brian Sandoval is also one of the Honorary Chairmen of Clark County District Attorney and Police Civil Commission (CCDAPCC) of WBTI. It's our pleasure to pay a tribute to the all the officials who dedicate to the civic and community service spects of our organization in an honorary or adjunct capacity.

"Earlier this week, Berkley secured the backing of the top Democrat on the House Rules Committee -- Rep. Martin Frost (D-TX) -- to block any attempt to structure the House rule on the energy spending bill to favor allowing nearly $750 million to be added to the Yucca budget. The action by the Rules Committee preserved the right of Berkley and other lawmakers to raise objections against efforts to spend more on dumping nuclear waste in Nevada," stated in the Press Release by the Office of U. S. congresswoman shelley Berkley on June 25, 2004. Late Night Work in Rules Committee Helps Preserve Fair Treatment For Nevadans," stated in the Press Released by the Office of U. S. Congresswoman Shelley Berkley on June 25, 2004.*6

"Had it not been for the support of Rep. Frost and the Democratic members of the House Rules Committee, this bill could have easily allowed billions more to be spent on Yucca Mountain and limited Congressional oversight. At the same time, we continue to face an uphill fight against an Administration and Republican leaders in Congress who care more about the profits of the nuclear industry than they do about the scientific uncertainties that surround Yucca Mountain or the threat to the safety of millions of Americans that nuclear waste shipments will create," said Rep. Shelley Berkley (D-NV).*7

U. S. Congresswoman Berkley Says Court Ruling Could Bury Nuclear Waste Storage at Yucca Mountain in her statement on June 9, 2004. It is our pleasure to post Shelley's Press Release on Friday July 9 as in the following:

July 9, 2004

(July 9, 2004; Washington, D.C.) U. S. Representative Shelley Berkley today declared that a ruling by a U.S. federal appeals court may spell the end of efforts to bury high-level nuclear waste at Yucca Mountain. In its ruling, the court found that a radiation standard established by EPA for the Yucca dump did not meet legal requirements for protecting public health and safety.*8

In response to the ruling, Berkley issued the following statement:

"The people of Nevada should throw up their arms and cheer at this court ruling. By tossing out the EPA's radiation standard, the court has said that the Bush Administration's plan for Yucca Mountain will not protect the health and safety of Nevada residents. I have no doubt that the White House and the nuclear power industry are going to fight the court's action, but this should serve as a warning to both, that science, not politics, must guide this process.

“It is long past time that we pull the plug on funding for Yucca Mountain and invest in the safe storage of nuclear waste at the sites where it was produced. This solution is good for a century and is already in use around the nation.

“The days of burying our heads in the sand by attempting to bury nuclear waste in Nevada are over. Technology ultimately holds the answer to the nation's nuclear waste problem, and we should be investing more in research. We have already wasted billions of dollars on a hole in the Nevada desert, and today's court ruling only proves that the Yucca Mountain is unsafe, unwise and unworkable."*9

Shelley Berkley is an Adjunct Professor of Administrative Strategies of the Graduate School of Business and Public Administration (GSBPA) of Washington Business and Technology Institute (WBTI).

"Friday's federal court ruling on Yucca Mountain is a huge victory for Nevada. The court realized that the environmental safeguards on the project simply aren't strong enough. I hope it will help put an end to this misguided plan to dump nuclear waste in our state," stated in the 'Reid's Words' on the "WHIP ROUND UP" just published. It was faxed by the Office of U. S. Senator Harry Reid from Washington D. C. to Dr. Tony Lei in the afternoon on July 9, 2004.*10
