  Mrs. McCARTHY of New York. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute 
to WHLI AM, a radio station in Garden City, LI, which will celebrate 
its 50th anniversary of broadcasting on July 22. WHLI can be found at 
1100 on the AM dial with a format of adult sophisticated music, 
including oldies by the original artists. Long Islanders enjoy music 
spanning the spectrum from Benny Goodman to Celine Dion; Frank Sinatra 
to Barbra Streisand, every day.
  Program Director and legendary radio personality Dean Anthony heads 
up this radio station, which for 50 years has also been a strong voice 
for the Long Island community. Informative news programming adds to the 
appeal of WHLI, which broadcasts at 10,000

watts, making it easily heard by all in the Nassau County area.
  Mr. Speaker, I encourage all of my colleagues who may find themselves 
on Long Island to tune their radio dials into WHLI 1100 AM and listen 
to this terrific radio station, a true Long Island tradition. A hearty 
congratulation to the wonderful staff of WHLI on the occasion of their 
50th anniversary. Here's to 50 more.
