                        Thursday, July 28, 2005

  Mr. RYAN of Wisconsin. Mr. Speaker, I would like to take a moment to 
recognize the achievements of my hometown radio station, WCLO, which is 
celebrating its 75th anniversary. WCLO Radio, based in Janesville, 
Wisconsin, has served southern Wisconsin for three-quarters of a 
century through the broadcasting of news, weather, sports and community 
information.
  Since 1930, WCLO has continuously been owned by the Bliss family, 
making it one of the Nation's oldest family-owned radio stations. It 
takes seriously its responsibility to its listeners. Despite major 
regulatory changes, the station has continued to operate as a public 
servant to its listening area, providing vital news and information to 
its audience. WCLO also takes an active role in supporting the 
community, through its continuing efforts on behalf of charities and 
the arts.
  WCLO Radio has been consistently recognized for excellence in 
broadcasting by its peers and organizations including the Wisconsin 
Broadcasters Association and the Associated Press.
  I'd like to extend congratulations to WCLO for 75 eventful years of 
serving southern Wisconsin.
