                   WGAL TV OF LANCASTER, PENNSYLVANIA

  (Mr. PITTS asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. PITTS. Mr. Speaker, today I recognize WGAL TV based in Lancaster, 
Pennsylvania. For years, WGAL has done a great job of providing local 
news and community programming for Lancaster and all of central 
Pennsylvania. Radio and TV stations air public service announcements 
from time to time as a service to their communities.
  I learned this week that WGAL donated a total of 1,062 spots of 
valuable air time to Ad Council public service announcements. That is 
about three a day, just for Ad Council.
  I want to congratulate WGAL on its dedication to its community. 
Around Lancaster, Channel 8 is known as the hometown station. They have 
that reputation by caring for our community, doing their part to make 
the world a better place.
  On behalf of Lancaster and central Pennsylvania, I want to say thank 
you to all the good people at WGAL TV, Channel 8, in Lancaster.
