                         HON. GEORGE RADANOVICH

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, March 4, 1999

  Mr. RADANOVICH. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Dan 
Malcolm, recipient of The Viticulture and Enology Research Center 
Award. Dan Malcolm has been a strong supporter of the California grape 
industry for many years.
  Each year at California State University, Fresno, an outstanding 
individual in the California grape industry is honored on Grape Day. 
This year, The Viticulture and Enology Research Center proudly honored 
Dan Malcolm of Malcolm Media for his generous support of the program 
and his dedication to the California grape industry.
  Dan Malcolm grew up on a family farm near Sanger, California, where 
he gained a strong respect for agriculture. As a young man, he became 
interested in politics and agricultural education, which led him to 
become owner, publisher, and editor of the fastest growing agricultural 
publishing company in the Western United States. In 1992, Dan founded 
Malcolm Media Ag Publishing in Clovis, California. The first 
publication he and his wife Monica formed to help expand awareness of 
agriculture was American Vineyard, which was first published in early 
1992. In just two short years American Vineyard became the highest 
circulated grape industry publication in the state. In 1995 American 
Vineyard became the most requested grape industry publication in the 
United States with over 10,000 readers. Today Malcolm continues to 
support agricultural education through scholarships to viticulture, and 
enology students throughout California.
  Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Dan Malcolm, recipient of 
The Viticulture and Enology Research Center Award. Dan has been a vital 
part of the California grape industry. I urge all my colleagues to join 
me in wishing Dan Malcolm many years of continued success.
