                                 ______

                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, February 16, 2005

  Mr. SIMPSON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the Post Register 
Newspaper for providing 125 years of service to eastern Idaho. I'm 
proud to recognize and congratulate the Post Register for this 
achievement.
  The Post Register can trace its roots to the founding of the Idaho 
Register in Blackfoot, Idaho in 1880. J. Robb Brady, son of former 
Idaho Governor and Senator James H. Brady, purchased the Daily Post in 
Idaho Falls in 1925. In 1931, The Post and Times-Register merged to 
create the Post-Register.
  The Post Register is a longstanding corporate citizen committed to 
following its stated mission of being fair, ethical, accurate and 
courageous. The Post Register covers an area that stretches the miles 
from the Salmon River area, east into Montana, into western Wyoming 
including Jackson and south to Blackfoot, Idaho. Citizens who reside 
within these areas have benefited from the Post Register's 125 years of 
community journalism.
  The Post Register is a newspaper that moves quickly to adjust to 
readers needs. In 1995, the first online pages were posted at 
www.postregister.com. In 1997, the newspaper hit another milestone when 
it changed to morning publication and added a Saturday edition.
  Currently, the Post Register is owned by its employees and the 
descendants of James H. and J. Robb Brady. The Post Register's values 
are to serve ``this special place, our home, now and in future 
generations,'' and they have held true to these values for the last 125 
years. To the Post Register and all their employees, I congratulate you 
on such a successful business and look forward to the years to come.
