 REMARKS OF CONGRESSWOMAN ELEANOR HOLMES NORTON IN CELEBRATION OF THE 
                    25TH ANNIVERSARY OF WTOP AM 1500

                                 ______


                       HON. ELEANOR HOLMES NORTON

                      of the district of columbia

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, March 8, 1994

  Ms. NORTON. Mr. Speaker, instant access to serious news and feature 
radio any time you want it is an informed citizen's dream. It has 
become a necessity for Members of Congress. For 25 years WTOP 1500 AM 
has fulfilled the dream and provided the necessity. WTOP is just one 
more Washington treasure.
  I would wager that more Members listen to WTOP than listen to each 
other. WTOP is often the wiser choice.
  It is almost impossible to serve in the Congress without being served 
by WTOP. And there is a larger message in the station's service. 
Democracy is an untidy and imperfect system. Reliable, unbiased facts 
and information make democracy work. On its 25th birthday I know the 
Members of this body would want to join me in saying, Happy Birthday 
WTOP.
