GOP introduces bill to name 'Mount Reagan' in Nevada

Rep. Joe Heck (R-Nev.) on Thursday introduced legislation naming a 4,000-foot peak in his home state "Mount Reagan" after former President Ronald Reagan.

... Heck's bill is the latest chapter in the lengthy effort to name a peak in Nevada after Reagan. Last year, a volunteer group called the Mount Reagan Project filed an application with Nevada state authorities to rename one of the peaks of Frenchman Mountain after Reagan.

But in October, Rep. Dina Titus (D-Nev.) introduced a bill to name the same peak after Maude Frazier, who was the first woman lieutenant governor of the state. The Titus bill would name the peak "Maude Frazier Mountain."

... Heck's bill, H.R. 4017, would name a different peak on Frenchman Mountain after Reagan — essentially reserving that peak for Reagan to avoid having someone else in Congress claim it. This new peak is 3,952 feet high, 100 feet less than the peak claimed in the Titus bill.
