  Ms. ROS-LEHTINEN. Mr. Speaker, I would like to take this opportunity 
to offer my warmest congratulations to Dave Donahue on the occasion of 
his retirement from Clear Channel broadcasting. I am certain that all 
who have had the opportunity to work with him during his illustrious 
career will miss him.
  Dave Donahue is a recipient of the Country Music Association's 
``Station of the Year Award'', Billboard's ``Top Ten Programmers 
Award'', and has served on the board of directors for the Country Music 
Hall of Fame Awards. He became the first Agenda Chairman for the 
Country Radio Seminar and was its first Exhibit Hall Director. He is a 
commissioned Kentucky Colonel and a former legislative director for the 
State of Tennessee House of Representatives. In 2000, Dave was inducted 
into the Country Music DJ Hall of Fame.
  Dave Donahue has had a long and successful career that has spanned 
many years of outstanding service, dedication, hard work, devotion, and 
love for country music. I am proud to recognize Dave Donahue for his 
tireless dedication to the entertainment industry. I ask my colleagues 
to join me in congratulating Dave on his wonderful service to the 
community.
