  Mr. SERRANO. Mr. Speaker, it is with great pleasure that I rise to 
celebrate and honor the 100th anniversary of The Fordham Ram, a 
publication of true purpose and high achievement, whose exemplary 
programs and accomplishments have made many contributions to the Nation 
and our communities.
   The Fordham Ram, hosted by one of New York City's distinguished 
institutions of higher education, Fordham University, is the newspaper 
of record and student voice at Fordham's Rose Hill Campus. The 
newspaper has served students, staff, alumni, and The Bronx community 
through award-winning, fair, and professional journalism since 1918. 
The staff and alumni of The Fordham Ram have remained dedicated to 
objective journalism in the public's interest for 100 years.
   The Fordham Ram's 100th anniversary is an auspicious occasion to 
recognize the accomplishments of the distinguished alumni who have also 
written for the newspaper during their time at Fordham University. 
Notable alumni include Louis D. Boccardi ('58), the former President 
and CEO of the Associated Press; Loretta Tofani ('75), Pulitzer Prize 
winner at the Washington Post; Malcolm Moran ('75), former reporter for 
the New York Times and USA Today; Thomas Maier ('78), author and prize-
winning investigative journalist for Newsday; Jim Dwyer ('79), two-time 
Pulitzer Prize winner and columnist for the New York Times; Michael Kay 
('82), the voice of the New York Yankees on the YES Network and ESPN 
Radio host; Jack Curry ('86), analyst for the YES Network; and the 
legendary Vin

Scully ('49), the voice of the Los Angeles Dodgers, Baseball Hall of 
Fame broadcaster, and Radio Hall of Famer. The significant 
contributions these individuals have made to the field of journalism 
are a testament to the true spirit of excellence instilled in them at 
The Fordham Ram.
   Mr. Speaker, I respectfully ask that my distinguished colleagues in 
the U.S. House of Representatives join me in honoring the Fordham Ram 
for its 100 years of remarkable dedication to fair journalism and its 
longstanding commitment to improving The Bronx.
