   CONGRATULATIONS TO TIME WARNER CABLE ON THE OPENING OF THEIR D.C. 
                                 BUREAU

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. RENEE L. ELLMERS

                           of north carolina

                    in the house of representatives

                       Friday, December 16, 2011

  Mrs. ELLMERS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Time Warner 
Cable for its investment in local television news coverage in North 
Carolina and its recent expansion into Washington, D.C.
  By opening a news bureau in our nation's capital, the people of North 
Carolina will have another outlet to learn about the important work 
being done on their behalf and other updates that are important to the 
communities throughout the region.
  Mr. Speaker, TWC is dedicating significant resources to high quality 
local news channels that provide critical local news, weather, traffic 
and sports coverage in the communities that they serve.
  In my district, the Raleigh research triangle area is home to some of 
the leading innovators in technology and healthcare. The legislation 
that we pursue and enact in Washington has an enormous impact on these 
businesses and research facilities. With Time Warner Cable's commitment 
to reporting both at the local and national level, they are giving our 
residents an important resource to stay informed and involved.
  I applaud Time Warner Cable for recognizing the importance of local 
news, for investing in it and creating jobs while providing this 
critical service to their customers and the constituents I serve.
