                                 ______

                              of illinois

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, June 10, 1999

  Mr. SHIMKUS. Mr. Speaker, I would like to take this time to 
congratulate WCXO in Clinton County which will begin broadcasting in 
mid-June from a state-of-the-art FM facility.
  This station will not only provide music entertainment: it will also 
give a valuable resource to local residents by its commitment to the 
community through its broadcasting of boys' and girls' high school 
sporting events, local and headline news reports, and farm reports.
  Owned by Joy Publishing, the station will be headed by General 
Manager Annette Bevel. Under her guidance and their dedicated staff 
composed mostly of Clinton County's own, I am confident that the 
station will be a great asset to Clinton County.
  I applaud these efforts to improve communication, entertainment, and 
information within Clinton County and wish them well.
