                      Wednesday, November 12, 1997

  Mr. RADANOVICH. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Horizon 
Armenian Television on the occasion of their 1,000th show. Horizon 
signifies excellence in Armenian television broadcasting.
  On Friday, November 7, Horizon Armenian Television celebrated its 
1,000th show with a gala banquet at the Universal Sheraton in Los 
Angeles. As a statewide television program, it is the largest and most 
watched Armenian television program. The show contains Armenian local, 
national, and international news. The hour-long program also includes 
cultural and community events along with Armenian music videos.
  Horizon is administered under the direction of the Asbarez Armenian 
newspaper and Editor John Kossakian. I commend Mr. Kossakian for his 
work with the Armenian publication Asbarez and Horizon Armenian 
Television. In my district, which includes parts of Fresno, Madera, 
Mariposa, and Tulare Counties, the horizon show can be seen every 
Wednesday from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. on Media One (local channel 42).
  Mr. Speaker, it is with great honor that I congratulate Horizon 
Armenian Television as it celebrates its 1,000th show. The show 
signifies leadership in reporting Armenian news and information. I ask 
my colleagues to join me in wishing Horizon continued success with 
future programing. I extend to Asbarez and Horizon my appreciation for 
a job well done.
