                         HON. ELISE M. STEFANIK

                              of new york

                         Tuesday, June 13, 2017

  Ms. STEFANIK. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor and recognize the 
Public Broadcasting Service of Mountain Lake on their 40th Anniversary.
  The Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) is a non-profit organization 
with a mission of enriching and inspiring communities around the 
country. Through its 350 member stations, PBS is able to provide 
television and radio programming for all ages, ranging from local and 
national news, to educational shows for both children and adults. 
Reaching 82 percent of all American households, the work of PBS allows 
people from all walks of life to experience a broader world.
  In my district, Mountain Lake PBS serves an especially important 
role, bringing news and entertainment to the people of Upstate New 
York, Vermont, Quebec, and Ontario. Their work has greatly expanded the 
options available to North Country residents, whether they are parents 
looking for fun and informational programming for their children, or 
adults looking for more choices in news or recreation.
  I would like to thank Mountain Lake PBS for making the betterment of 
our community a priority during their 40 years of broadcasting.
