        TUCKER MALONEY, WBBM ``REPORTER FOR A DAY'' HONOR WINNER

                                 ______


                        HON. WILLIAM O. LIPINSKI

                              of illinois

                    in the house of representatives

                         Thursday, May 30, 1996

  Mr. LIPINSKI. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to an 
outstanding young man whose work as a broadcaster has been recognized 
by one of Chicago's largest radio stations, WBBM-AM.
  Mr. Maloney, a junior at Lyons Township High School in LaGrange, IL, 
was one of 10 students to be a ``reporter for the day'' among more than 
500 entries. Tucker, who has been broadcasting on the high school's 
radio station, WLTL, since his freshman year, submitted to WBBM his 90-
second report on a proposal to build a garbage building incinerator in 
his community.
  It is the second year in a row that Tucker has been honored by the 
station. In 1995, Tucker's report on his interview with ``Baywatch'' 
star David Hasselhoff, a Lyons Township High School graduate, earned 
him reporter-for-a-day status.
  Mr. Speaker, I congratulate Mr. Maloney on this prestigious honor, 
and wish him continued success in broadcasting, or any other endeavor 
he pursues.
