  Mr. BRADY of Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor my 
friend, Bob W. Bogle, as he receives the Outstanding Community Leader 
Award from the Friends of Labor Committee of Laborers' Local 332. Bob 
is the chairman, president, and CEO of The Philadelphia Tribune.
  Bob is chairman of the Hospitals and Higher Education Facilities 
Authority of Philadelphia, and also serves as the Mayor of 
Philadelphia's appointee on the Independence Blue Cross Board. Bob is 
also chairman of the Council of Trustees at Cheyney University, his 
alma mater, and serves on a number of boards, including the Greater 
Philadelphia Chamber of Commerce and the Philadelphia Convention and 
Visitors Bureau. Additionally, he was appointed by President George W. 
Bush to serve as member of the National Museum of African American 
History and Culture Commission.
  The Philadelphia Tribune is America's oldest and Greater 
Philadelphia's largest audited paper primarily serving the African-
American community. Before assuming his present position, Bob held 
other high-level positions at the newspaper, including director of 
advertising, director of marketing, and executive vice president. The 
magazine has been honored at least five times by the National Newspaper 
Publisher's Association, a trade association of 205 Black-owned 
newspapers across the country.
  I invite you and all of my colleagues to join me in commemorating my 
friend Bob's accomplishment and his dedication to the city of 
Philadelphia, the birthplace of America.
