                        REMEMBERING BETTE BAILLY

 Mr. GARDNER. Mr. President, I wish to honor the life of Bette 
Bailly from Burlington, CO, who passed away earlier this month after 
serving nearly 50 years in the broadcast industry.
  Bette was an inspiration to others in her professional life and in 
her community. She was due to celebrate 50 years of dedicated service 
at her station, KNAB-AM, in just 2 years' time and was honored and 
recognized with numerous awards throughout her career. As a 
businesswoman, Bette was hard-charging and took a no-nonsense approach 
to broadcasting. Her tenacity was well known and respected throughout 
Northeastern Colorado.
  Bette was also devoted to the Burlington community. She volunteered 
her time at the Burlington Chamber of Commerce, the Rotary Club, 
numerous local boards, and her church.
  Undoubtedly, Bette will be missed dearly by her family, her 
community, and the State of Colorado. We will never forget her 
contributions to local broadcasting.
