                       Monday, September 30, 2013

  Mr. BRADY of Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the 
accomplishments of Mr. W. Cody Anderson. Mr. Anderson will be receiving 
the Outstanding Community Leader Award at this year's Friend of Labor 
Committee of Laborers' Local 332 Annual Black Tie Charity Dinner.
  Mr. Anderson has committed himself to the field of broadcast radio 
for more than 35 years, beginning in the Sales Department of WDAS Radio 
and working his way to become the President and General Manager of the 
station. He is widely considered a leading communicator to African-
American and urban-based communities and has long-standing 
relationships with leaders and organizations throughout the region. His 
expertise in community and grassroots based marketing has allowed him 
to build one of Philadelphia's most influential talk radio stations, 
900AM WURD. He is consistently listed as one of Philadelphia's Top Ten 
Influential African-Americans and remains concerned with and accessible 
to community members and the issues they face. Throughout his very busy 
and successful career he has served as a member and advisor for several 
community organizations such as Action AIDS and the African-American 
Interdenominational Ministries, Inc., and is an Ambassador in the Team 
Pennsylvania Outreach Program.
  It is a privilege to recognize a person whose leadership and 
commitment to community has enriched the lives of countless 
individuals. I ask you and my other distinguished colleagues to join me 
in commending Mr. Anderson for his lifetime of service and dedication 
to Pennsylvania's First Congressional District.
