                       HAPPY 30TH BIRTHDAY, WTOP

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. J.C. WATTS, JR.

                              of oklahoma

                    in the house of representatives

                       Wednesday, March 10, 1999

  Mr. WATTS of Oklahoma. Mr. Speaker, today I want to wish WTOP, 1500 
AM, 107.7 FM, a happy 30th birthday. From the Apollo XI mission to put 
a man on the moon to home rule for the District of Columbia, from the 
Reagan Revolution to the first Republican Congress in 40 years, this 
top-flight radio station has established a tradition of excellence for 
delivering comprehensive, up-to-the-minute coverage of news, traffic, 
weather, and sports.
  WTOP Congressional correspondent Dave McConnell's informative ``Today 
on the Hill'' broadcasts are a prime source of the latest developments 
on Capitol Hill and an integral part of WTOP's thorough news coverage. 
I truly hope Dave stays on the Congressional beat another 30 years.
  So on behalf of all House Republicans, happy birthday, WTOP. May you 
have many more.
