                CONGRATULATIONS TO PICOZZI AND THE HORN

 Mr. LIEBERMAN. Mr. President, I rise today to honor a radio 
station and its morning team of Picozzi and the Horn. The station, 
WHCN-FM in Hartford, CT, is observing 25 years of rock-n-roll 
broadcasting. And Michael Picozzi and Gary Lee Horn are celebrating 8 
great years of entertaining thousands upon thousands of listeners 
throughout much of the Constitution State.
  For two guys to last 8 years at one station is a testament to their 
loyalty to each other and to their listeners, who have rewarded them 
with high ratings in return. Picozzi and the Horn make waking up and 
driving to work a lot more fun than it normally is, and their unique 
style has become as much a part of the tradition of our State as, say, 
making submarines, selling insurance, or being stuck in rush hour 
traffic. And what better way to survive rush hour traffic than sharing 
the occasion with Picozzi and the Horn?
  I have been honored to be a guest on the Picozzi and the Horn radio 
program many times, stemming back to my years as attorney general. My 
frequent appearances are probably more a result of the fact that I 
always bring fresh bagels to the studio, rather than any special talent 
on my part. The guys did persuade me to sing the Barney song on the 
air, which may not have done much for their ratings, but it did make me 
a hero to my daughter.
  Mr. President, WHCN's promotional literature sums up Picozzi and the 
Horn in this way: ``it's not easy to be the funniest and the most 
thought-provoking morning show in Hartford, but for 8 years, Picozzi 
and the Horn have been just that.'' It says that probably because 
Picozzi and the Horn wrote it, but that does not mean it is not true.
  Congratulations to Picozzi and the Horn for helping Connecticut wake 
up on more than 2,000 mornings. And congratulations to WHCN for 
bringing these two guys, their other great deejays, and tremendous 
rock-n-roll into our lives 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, for 25 
straight years.
