                      TENNESSEE RADIO HALL OF FAME

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Chair recognizes the gentleman from 
Tennessee (Mr. Fleischmann) for 5 minutes.
  Mr. FLEISCHMANN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor this year's 
inductees to the Tennessee Radio Hall of Fame.
  Tennessee has a long history in the radio broadcast industry, dating 
back to the early 1920s. It has since grown to nearly 450 stations 
which, collectively, reach almost 7 million people.

  Tennessee's radio outlets have served as a shining example, providing 
a consistent source of quality information, while never forgetting the 
core reason for their existence, which is to serve our growing 
communities. In light of that, I would like to take a moment to 
recognize this year's Radio Hall of Fame inductees--Harry Chapman; 
Warren Medley; Dave Overton; Aaron Robinson, Sr.; Charlie Scott; and 
Cal Young, Jr.--all of whom, collectively, made decades of significant 
broadcast contributions prior to their death.
  In addition, I would like to recognize Maxine Humphreys, Cathy 
Martindale, and Bart Walker.
  Also, I would like to highlight those from my district in 
Chattanooga--Chattanooga's very own Billy Joe Poindexter of WUSY, US 
101; Keith Landecker of Power 94; Earl Freudenberg of WDYN AM 980; and 
station of the year, WUSY, US 101--all of whom continue to make 
significant contributions to the radio industry.
  On a personal note, when I was a lawyer in my district, I had a radio 
show. During that time, I had the privilege of working with Earl 
Freudenberg on the Dynamo of Dixie on AM 1310. I learned much from Earl 
during that time, and I am proud to call him a friend. Needless to say, 
I enjoyed my radio years in the Chattanooga community immensely.
  Again, I would like to congratulate this year's Tennessee Radio Hall 
of Fame inductees.
