Senate Concurrent Resolution No. 18--Congratulating Dr. F. Sherwood Rowland for being selected as the recipient of the Nevada Medal given by the Desert Research Institute and sponsored by Nevada Bell.

Whereas, A layer of ozone in the upper atmosphere of the Earth protects our biosphere by absorbing ultraviolet radiation from the sun; and
Whereas, Dr. F. Sherwood Rowland and his colleague Dr. Mario Molina of the University of California at Irvine first discovered in 1973 that man-made compounds called chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) play a major role in the destruction of this essential but fragile ozone layer; and
Whereas, Drs. Rowland and Molina discovered that CFCs, which are chemically stable at the surface of the Earth, are broken up by ultraviolet radiation high in the atmosphere and then destroy ozone at a rapid rate, and they published their findings in the prominent journal Nature in 1974; and
Whereas, Since this important discovery, Dr. Rowland has provided continuing scientific leadership in the study of atmospheric pollutants and the influence of humanity on the climate of this planet; and
Whereas, Dr. Rowland's international efforts in the laboratory, in the field and in public education have led directly to the Montreal Protocol, which provides for the worldwide replacement of CFCs with environmentally benign substitutes; and
Whereas, Dr. Rowland holds the distinguished Bren Research Professorship at the University of California at Irvine and has contributed significantly to scientific knowledge through the publication of over 300 articles; and
Whereas, Dr. Rowland has served as the President of the American Association for the Advancement of Science and is a member of the National Academy of Sciences and a fellow of the American Physical Society; and
Whereas, Dr. Rowland's many achievements in the field of atmospheric chemistry have garnered him much deserved praise and have earned him numerous honors, including the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1995; and
Whereas, The Nevada Medal is an honor conferred by the Desert Research Institute of the University and Community College System of Nevada in recognition of outstanding scientific, engineering and technical achievements; and
Whereas, The Nevada Medal is sponsored by Nevada Bell, a member of the Pacific Telesis Group and provider of a variety of telecommunication services to northern Nevada; and
Whereas, Dr. F. Sherwood Rowland, whose research has contributed monumentally to the reduction of the global use of CFCs and continues to enlighten us on issues relating to atmospheric chemistry, is the 10th recipient of the Nevada Medal, which includes a $5,000 prize; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the Senate of the State of Nevada, the Assembly Concurring, That the members of the 69th session of the Nevada Legislature hereby congratulate Dr. F. Sherwood Rowland for being named the recipient of the 1997 Nevada Medal given by the Desert Research Institute; and be it further
Resolved, That Nevada Bell is hereby commended for its continued sponsorship of this medal, which offers well-deserved recognition to persons who have demonstrated outstanding scientific, engineering and technical achievements; and be it further
Resolved, That the Secretary of the Senate prepare and transmit a copy of this resolution to Dr. F. Sherwood Rowland.
Senator Raggio moved the adoption of the resolution.
Remarks by Senator Raggio.
Senator Raggio requested that his remarks be entered in the Journal.
Thank you, Mr. President. I know I can speak for the entire Senate when I say that we are very honored to have Dr. F. Sherwood Rowland present here today in commemorating the occasion of his being the 10^th recipient of the prestigious Nevada Medal. Also, we want to congratulate the Desert Research Institute, Nevada Bell and the Nevada University System for their dedication to this recognition. The Senate and the Assembly are privileged, every two years, to have the distinguished scientist present who has been named to receive this recognition. We are particularly honored today to have Dr. Roland. The resolution indicates his many achievements and contributions to the world of science but particularly of note, in 1995, his recognition as a Nobel Prize winner. In the long line of very distinguished recipients of the Nevada Medal, it is our privilege today to honor Dr. F. Sherwood Rowland. We are very pleased to have him with us.
Senator Raggio requested that the remarks of Dr. Rowland be entered in the Journal.
Thank you, Senator Raggio. I will only say briefly that the global concern about the environment is one that is very strongly held within the United States and it is held within the State of Nevada as represented by the Desert Research Institute. I think that the twenty-first century is going to require the best efforts of all of those groups. We are looking forward to continuation of your support for the Desert Research Institute and for the efforts of the University System of Nevada.
Resolution adopted.
Senator Raggio moved that all rules be suspended and that Senate Concurrent Resolution No. 18 be immediately transmitted to the Assembly.

By Senators Augustine, Adler, Coffin, Jacobsen, James, Mathews, McGinness, Neal, O'Connell, O'Donnell, Porter, Raggio, Rawson, Regan, Rhoads, Schneider, Shaffer, Titus, Townsend, Washington and Wiener:

Senate Concurrent Resolution No. 19--Commemorating 100 years of filmmaking in Nevada.

Whereas, On March 17, 1897, the first legal championship boxing match to be held in the country was filmed in Carson City, the capitol of our fine state; and
Whereas, That special event was filmed by the company of Enoch Rector, former film partner of Thomas Edison, motion picture inventor, earning a record $750,000 in fees; and
Whereas, That fight was the first ever filmed by motion picture cameras, changing the course of the world of sports from mere hearsay of reporters and bystanders to celluloid documentation of history-making competitions; and
Whereas, Capturing the event on film allowed repeated showings of the bout, culminating in the instant replay technology of today; and
Whereas, Such success sparked the beginnings of Nevada's filmmaking industry, which today boasts international attraction in the field of entertainment; and
Whereas, This day marks the centennial of that historic occasion in our state, known today as the "Entertainment Capitol of the World" because of such unique events; and
Whereas, Today the people of the great State of Nevada enjoy economic opportunities once unforeseen as a result of that first filming event, as was witnessed on March 5, 1997, by the announcement of a motion picture studio, "Black Mountain Studios," to be built in Nevada; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the Senate of the State of Nevada, the Assembly Concurring, That residents of the State of Nevada are hereby urged to observe and participate in events celebrating 100 years of filmmaking in this state throughout the year; and be it further
Resolved, That in recognition of the past 100 years of filmmaking, residents of this state are urged to enjoy the special events, movie premieres and mini-film festivals, with themes such as a Western Film Festival, featuring films made in Nevada, including the Roy Rogers film "Heldorado," a movie that was made over 50 years ago; and be it further
Resolved, That the year of celebration will culminate in the First Annual International Film Festival to be held in Las Vegas in March 1998; and be it further
Resolved, That the Secretary of the Senate prepare and transmit a copy of this resolution to the Nevada Motion Picture Division.
Senator Augustine moved the adoption of the resolution.
Remarks by Senator Augustine.
Senator Augustine requested that her remarks be entered in the Journal.
Thank you, Mr. President. Here in Carson City,100 years ago today, the birth of an industry was witnessed before a crowd of 6,000. Enoch Rector filmed the Corbett-Fitzsimmons match. The first site location film ever recorded.
Today, Nevada enjoys the benefits of a movie making industry that highlights our beautiful countryside, our entertainment venues, and our cultural heritage throughout the state. Over 500 feature films have been shot on location in Nevada, with such diverse titles as "Helldorado" starring Roy Rogers filmed more than 50 years ago to "Independence Day," last year's blockbuster about an alien attack. Even the soon-to-be released movie "Conair" pays tribute to our past, memorializing the final moments of existence for the famed Sands Hotel/Casino, where such legendary performers as Frank Sinatra and Sammy Davis, Jr. once performed.
Mr. President, this resolution honors our rich history and celebrates our accomplishments today in the field of entertainment. It is recognition well deserved to an industry Nevada owes so much.
Resolution adopted.
Senator Augustine moved that all rules be suspended and that Senate Concurrent Resolution No. 19 be immediately transmitted to the Assembly.
Motion carried.

Senate Concurrent Resolution No. 20--Commemorating the 100th anniversary of boxing in the State of Nevada.

Whereas, The State of Nevada enjoys a long history of taking risks for suitable gain and legalizing behavior considered "scandalous" in American society; and
Whereas, One hundred years ago, the Senators and Assemblymen of the 18th session of the Nevada Legislature passed and Governor Reinhold Sadler signed Assembly Bill No. 8, an act which allowed the first legal prizefight to occur in this state after California, Texas and other states had turned down the opportunity to permit such a contest; and
Whereas, This bold action was taken by the Nevada Legislature and Governor Sadler in part to attract investors to this state and in part to call attention to the vast resources of the State of Nevada; and
Whereas, The members of the 18th session of the Nevada Legislature passed the act to set forth standards for regulation of a "contest or exhibition with gloves between man and man for a wager or reward"; and
Whereas, The act, having as its primary purpose "to restrict and license glove contests," was adopted in the year 1897; and
Whereas, On March 17, 1897, "Ruby Robert" Fitzsimmons fought "Gentleman Jim" Corbett before a crowd of 6,000 in Carson City in an outdoor arena built especially for the event, with Fitzsimmons knocking out Corbett in the 14th round by a blow to the solar plexus; and
Whereas, March 17, 1997, marks a historic occasion, as Nevadans celebrate the commencement of this centennial year of official prizefighting in the great State of Nevada; and
Whereas, Boxing, the "sweet science," now ranks as one of the leading industries in this state, intertwined with our heritage of grand entertainment; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the Senate of the State of Nevada, the Assembly Concurring, That residents of the State of Nevada are hereby urged to observe and participate in the celebration of 100 years of boxing throughout the year; and be it further
Resolved, That boxing, which has been gloriously successful beyond the imaginations of its initiators 100 years ago, however modest its part in the economy of this state at the outset, be rightfully honored for its contribution to the economic development of Nevada; and be it further
Resolved, That this year be known as Nevada's Centennial Year of Championship Gloved Competitions; and be it further
Resolved, That the Secretary of the Senate prepare and transmit a copy of this resolution to the Nevada Athletic Commission.
Senator Augustine moved the adoption of the resolution.
Remarks by Senator Augustine.
Senator Augustine requested that her remarks be entered in the Journal.
Thank you, Mr. President. When speaking of boxing venues, there is one place, above all others, where the eyes of the world instinctively rest: Las Vegas, Nevada.
Today marks the100th anniversary of that first match, held here in Carson City. Leaders of the day took, what were at that time brave and even unpopular positions, in order to assure economic health for Nevada's citizens. Our history is defined by risk taking. Where other states hesitated, Nevada pressed forward. And, our state has reaped the reward of the risk.
As a fitting tribute, there will be a committee to develop a year-long program of special events, historical seminars, and reenactments, named by the Lt. Governor, Lonnie Hammargren.
Let us honor our heritage today through the passage of this resolution which calls for celebration and ceremony befitting boxing's contribution to our past, present and future. By so doing, we remind ourselves of our state's tradition of breaking ground for others to follow, and foster courage in our leaders of today to make brave decisions which will secure our economic future into the next century.
Resolution adopted.
Senator Augustine moved that all rules be suspended and that Senate Concurrent Resolution No. 20 be immediately transmitted to the Assembly.
