                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, July 30, 1996

  Mr. LEWIS of California. Mr. Speaker, I am honored to rise today to 
pay tribute to some of the finest journalists I know--men and women 
from the San Bernardino County Sun newspaper in my hometown of San 
Bernardino, CA. These talented professionals have achieved distinction 
in their field and have been recently recognized as some of the most 
talented journalists in our country by Gannett News Service.
  The San Bernardino County Sun, under the stewardship of editor Arne 
Garson, was named a gold medal winner and a finalist for the 
outstanding achievement award for best news performance. Garson, for 
whom I have tremendous admiration and respect, was also selected as a 
finalist in the editor of the year category.
  A number of fine journalists from the Sun were also recognized in a 
variety of categories: Mark Muckenfuss for investigative reporting; 
Cassie MacDuff, Michael Diamond, and John Whitehair for business and 
consumer reporting; Mickey Enkoji for feature writing; and Mark Zaleski 
for color photography. All of these professionals were selected as 
among the best journalists in the country by a respected panel of their 
peers.
  Mr. Speaker, once again the San Bernardino County Sun has 
distinguished itself as one of the best newspapers in the United 
States. I ask that you join me and our colleagues today in recognizing 
Arne Garson and his fine staff at the Sun for their continuing 
commitment to excellence in journalism.
