                       KJIL--STATION OF THE YEAR

 Mr. BROWNBACK. Mr. President, I rise to congratulate the 
southwest Kansas radio station KJIL 99.1 FM for being awarded the 
``Station of the Year'' by Focus on the Family radio ministry.
  KJIL is a 100,000 watt Christian radio station based in Meade, 
Kansas. Although it has been on the air for only five years, it has 
played a significant and positive role in the community and throughout 
the western region of Kansas. Last year alone, the station sponsored 
several family-oriented concerts, helped organize transportation for 
community members to the Promise-Keepers rally in Washington, and 
expanded its network for 16 different translator stations.
  I particularly wish to commend Don Hughes, the station manager of 
KJIL, for his leadership and vision. And I am particularly pleased that 
an organization as worthy as Focus on the Family Radio ministries has 
recognized the station's achievements. It is a great honor, but no 
great surprise, that KJIL has received the ``Station of the Year'' 
award.
