                    in the house of representatives

                         Monday, April 14, 2008

  Mrs. BACHMANN. Madam Speaker, I rise to recognize the 2007 Minnesota 
Associated Press Broadcasters awardees as leaders in radio and 
television broadcasting. In particular, I would like to recognize those 
winners serving Minnesota's Sixth Congressional District, including 
KNSI-AM, KVSC-FM, WJON-AM, KXSS-AM, KTLK-FM, MPR, KARE-TV, and KSTP-TV.
  These winners are the elite in their field, and they should all be 
proud of their hard work and achievements. Specifically, I would like 
to recognize the contributions of KTLK-FM and their program director 
Steve Versnick for their outstanding accomplishments in radio, securing 
two awards for their work in 2007. Jeff Monosso and Jason Lewis were 
winners of the Radio Class Ill, Spot/Hard News category for their spot, 
``35W Bridge Collapse,'' and Jeff Monosso won a second award for a 
Radio Class Ill Newscast, titled, ``2007 Newscast.''
  In the years ahead, these news outlets will continue to provide 
Minnesotans with the best coverage of the events affecting our daily 
lives. Madam Speaker, it is my honor to recognize these radio and 
television stations as among the best in Minnesota news broadcasting.
