  Mr. FOGLIETTA. Mr. Speaker, I rise to salute Robert W. Bogle, 
president/CEO of the Philadelphia Tribune. Mr. Bogle has been honored 
with the National Newspaper Publishers Association's Publisher of the 
Year Award. Mr. Bogle, who is also president of the NNPA, received the 
award during the organization's 54th national convention held in 
Minneapolis.
  The Philadelphia Tribune, founded in 1884, is the nation's oldest 
African-American newspaper. The newspaper, founded as a forum for 
progress, has been a leader in making change in both the political and 
social arenas, and continues to do so today. Under the leadership of 
Robert Bogle, the Tribune introduced a three-times weekly publishing 
schedule, four-color format, a monthly magazine, and a weekly 
television insert. Mr. Speaker, I join with friends and family in 
congratulating Robert Bogle and the Philadelphia Tribune for this 
laudable accomplishment.
