                     Wednesday, September 29, 2010

  Mr. NEUGEBAUER. Madam Speaker, I would like to recognize Mr. Brad 
Moran for being inducted into the Tech University Mass Communications 
Hall of Fame.
  Brad received a Bachelor's Degree in Business from Texas Tech in 
1982, making him the first college graduate in his family. While 
attending Texas Tech, Brad worked as an afternoon disk jockey. After 
graduation, he went to work for his father at KJTV-34 as a national 
sales manager. In 1985, Brad and his father decided to make their 
station a FOX affiliate. The father-son team also launched a Spanish-
language station, Telemundo 46. Since then, Brad has launched several 
successful news and interactive talk radio shows under the name of 
Ramar Communications. Most recently, the Ramar radio group launched TT 
104.3, the Texas Tech University athletics station.
  Not only is Brad Moran a successful broadcaster, but he is also very 
active in the community. He has served on, and chaired, numerous 
fundraising committees for Lubbock. A few of these include the Lubbock 
Area United Way, American Cancer Society, South Plains Area Food Bank, 
and Lubbock Rotary Club. Brad continues to support Texas Tech from 
academics to athletics. He is a member of the Chief Executives 
Roundtable for the Rawls College of Business and has committed to begin 
a scholarship endowment for the Texas Tech College of Mass 
Communications. Additionally, Brad has served on numerous committees of 
the Lubbock Chamber of Commerce, and he is currently serving on the 
Chamber's Board of Directors.
  A few noted accolades and awards Brad has received include the 1999 
LAF Silver Medalist; 2003 Alexis de Tocqueville Society Award for his 
community dedication through philanthropic and human service; and the 
Lubbock Chamber's 2006 Businessperson of the Year Award.
  I am enormously appreciative to Mr. Brad Moran for his contributions 
to Texas Tech and the Lubbock community. Those in District 19, 
including myself, congratulate him on being named to the Hall of Fame 
and extend to him our best wishes for his future endeavors.
