                       RECOGNIZING LAURA ANDERSON

  (Mr. CARTER of Georgia asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. CARTER of Georgia. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize Ms. 
Laura Anderson, who retired from her broadcasting post with WTKS in 
Savannah on September 6.
  Originally from South Carolina, Ms. Anderson came to the First 
Congressional District of Georgia after her college graduation for 
love, life, and work.
  For life, it was our large green spaces and easygoing people in our 
area. The love portion included her marriage and becoming a mother. But 
her work is what nearly everyone in Savannah has woken up to for the 
past 21 years.
  Ms. Anderson hosted the Savannah News Now radio program on WTKS, 
along with her morning costar, Mr. Bill Edwards. With high-quality 
news, the program has become one of the most trusted in the Savannah 
area, interviewing countless community leaders, and giving commuters 
important daily updates.
  Now, she is leaving the air to spend more time with her family.
  Madam Speaker, I wish Laura the best of luck in her future endeavors. 
Laura will be missed on the air every morning.
