Letter: Reid’s status good, but not unique

I also heard this several times on the local television stations. This is great and I am happy for him getting whip, but I don't think this is the highest ranking a Nevada senator has ever attained.
Not too long ago my grandfather told me he remembers that in 1933 Sen. Key Pittman, a Nevada Democrat, was president pro tempore of the Senate. Wouldn't that make him the highest ranking Nevadan ever in the Senate?
Pittman was in the Senate from 1913 to 1940.
