                        RECOGNIZING FRANK E. LEE

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Chair recognizes the gentleman from 
Illinois (Mr. Quigley) for 5 minutes.
  Mr. QUIGLEY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Frank E. Lee who, 
after 35 years as the familiar afternoon personality at WXRT, Frank 
welcomed his much-deserved retirement last week.
  As the afternoon voice of WXRT, he is a Chicago institution unto 
himself. Frank's boss, Norm Winer, put it best when he said: ``Frank's 
wide-ranging love and knowledge of music, his remarkable verbal skills, 
his wry and sardonic sense of humor, impressive sense of 
professionalism, and generous nature have distinguished him among 
Chicago's all-time great air personalities.''
  I invite my colleagues to join me in honoring Frank E. Lee for his 
career as one of Chicago's finest radio personalities and most 
recognizable voices. We thank him for his years of service on the air.
  I was there in the studio as he closed off his career with the 
Stones' classic, ``Moonlight Mile.'' We tried to capture the essence of 
how Chicagoans felt when he left. All I can say is I got silence on my 
radio.
