                       TRIBUTE TO BILL ROSENDAHL

                                 ______


                         HON. HOWARD L. BERMAN

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                       Wednesday, January 18, 1995
  Mr. BERMAN. Mr. Speaker, I am honored to pay tribute to Bill 
Rosendahl, senior vice president of Century Cable Television, whose 
commitment to public affairs and political programming is unsurpassed. 
Since 1987 Bill has been host of ``Week in Review,'' a talk show that 
brings together journalists, politicians and consultants for an often 
fascinating discussion of the issues. There is nothing like it on any 
television station in southern California.
  Along with his duties on ``Week in Review,'' Bill spends much of his 
time interviewing politicians and, during election season, candidates, 
[[Page E122]] including those from minor parties or those running for 
obscure offices. No political reporter in the print or broadcast media 
in Los Angeles is as thorough and fair as Bill. In an age when it is 
fashionable to be cynical and dismissive about politics, Bill is truly 
a breath of fresh air.
  He brings impeccable credentials to his work. Prior to his arrival at 
Century Cable, Bill was director of corporate affairs for Westinghouse 
Broadcasting and Cable. He was also a White House appointee to the 
State Department, and has participated in many Presidential, 
gubernatorial, and senatorial campaigns.
  This year Bill was named by the Los Angeles Chapter of the Society of 
Professional Journalists as the winner of its 1994 Freedom of 
Information Award, which honors nonjournalists who helped promote first 
amendment issues. With his dedication to airing all points of view and 
for extensive coverage of topics ranging from AIDS to the war in 
Bosnia, Bill Rosendahl is the perfect choice.
  I ask my colleagues to join me today in saluting Bill Rosendahl, who 
has shown that in the right hands, television can be a marvelous source 
of news and information about politics and government. He brings honor 
to his profession.
