MRS. OBAMA: Thank you. Thank you so much. (Applause.) Woohoo! (Laughter and applause.) Oh, my goodness, I am just delighted to be here. This is beautiful. And you notice, kids, how quiet it can be outside? We’re outside! I live in the city. It is never this quiet outside.
It is beautiful. This is just a perfect place for the launch of this new initiative.
But let me begin by thanking -- doing my thank you: First, to Senator Reid, not just for his kind introduction but all of the wonderful work he’s done to move this country forward. He’s just been a tremendous asset, not just to my husband, but to the country and to all of you kids. You know, everybody hears about what the President does, but Presidents can’t do anything if they don't have a good team. And Senator Reid is a member of that good team. So we’re just grateful to have him onboard. (Applause.)
And I have to thank Representative Titus for her tireless advocacy for the people of Nevada in Congress. She’s a member of the team and is doing a terrific job.
Assistant Secretary Suh, for everything that she’s doing along, with the folks in her agency to really preserve and protect places like this -- Red Rock Canyon here in Nevada and all across the country.
I also want to thank Nevada State -- Nevada State Controller Kim Wallin and State Senate Majority Leader Steven Horsford as well for their leadership. (Applause.) Where are they? Where are you? There you are. (Applause.) Thank you all. Thank you for being here. Thank you for your support and your work.
