  Mr. RODNEY DAVIS of Illinois. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize 
and congratulate my friend Matt McLemore for twenty-five years of 
dedicated service to WTIM radio in my hometown of Taylorville, 
Illinois. For nearly three decades, Matt has been an integral part of 
WTIM's commitment to bringing news to the Central Illinois community, 
serving as the host for the station's morning news show.
  Matt first began at WTIM as a news director for the station in 1990, 
and shortly after began his role as the WTIM Morning Show host, where 
he became a household name to many

of his listeners. In my years in Congress, I have had the pleasure to 
be featured on Matt's program a number of times to discuss the work I 
do in Washington on behalf of the many Central Illinoisans that tune 
into his show. To honor Matt and his time with WTIM, the station will 
celebrate ``Matt McLemore Day'', an all-day, on-air party on April 2, 
2015.
  Matt, I thank you for your time with WTIM, your impact on the 
Taylorville community, and your service to thousands across Central 
Illinois. Congratulations on your well-deserved retirement.
