                      Thursday, February 10, 1994

  Mr. COSTELLO. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute and bring to 
my colleagues' attention the achievements of Mr. Al Dreas, who on 
February 12--the birthday of our Nation's 16th President, Illinois' 
Abraham Lincoln--will celebrate his 1,000th radio broadcast.
  Al Dreas, who is a radio broadcaster with WHCO Radio in Sparta, IL, 
has spent 20 years in broadcasting. On February 12, he will host the 
Polka Party Program from Rick's Uptown Cafe in downtown Sparta. Al, who 
is a native of Nashville, IL, provides his audience with entertainment 
and his broadcast is one of the most popular in southern Illinois.
  I ask my colleagues to join me on this day in paying tribute to Al 
Dreas and his career in broadcasting. Our congratulations go out to him 
on this very special occasion.
