  Mr. KNOLLENBERG. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor a supersalesman 
and special person--WXYT's Robert David.
  David was recently honored with 1996 Sales Success Award from the 
sales and marketing executives of Detroit.
  Recognized as one of the best salesmen in metro-Detroit, the 
Northville native is such a charmer, he met his future wife on the Ohio 
turnpike, eventually sweet-talking her into marriage.
  As the national sales manager at WXYT radio in Southfield, Rob has 
increased sales revenues tenfold in just 8 years. And he has done it 
through knowing his customers, studying their language, and speaking to 
them on their own terms.
  His simple strategy has been nothing but a recipe for success. And 
yet, that is not

enough. Rob is always looking to improve his skills by attending extra 
sales training and industry workshops.
  Rob has a positive attitude and a burning desire to succeed in a 
difficult industry known for high turnover.
  Not only has Rob succeeded at WXYT, he has also been able to find 
time to serve as president of Michigan State University's business 
school alumni group. He also leads an annual MSU program called the 
Minorities in Communications Conference.
  Rob David is a proven leader. He is a special person with a knack for 
success and the personality to go with it.
  Congratulations Rob, and keep up the great work.
