                      RECOGNIZING 70 YEARS OF KRVN

 Mrs. FISCHER. Mr. President, I would like to take a moment to 
recognize the 70th anniversary of KRVN, a longtime Nebraska radio 
station.
  KRVN was founded in 1951 to bring the news to Nebraska's rural 
communities, and they have remained committed to that mission 
throughout their existence.
  From the very beginning, Nebraska's farmers and ranchers have 
depended on their straightforward approach to the stories that matter 
most, and their outstanding reporting continues to be a crucial part of 
our agriculture industry's success.
  As everyone who has listened to KRVN knows, they have achieved 70 
years of success because they put their audience first. That is no 
accident--KRVN is one of the only radio stations in the country that is 
owned by a cooperative of farmers and ranchers.
  As a cattle rancher myself, my family, friends, and neighbors have 
listened to their daily livestock reports for decades, and I always 
enjoy stopping by their studios when I am in Lexington, NE.
  As a lifelong Nebraskan, I am immensely proud of all they have done 
for our State.
  I congratulate them on reaching this historic milestone. Here is to 
70 more years.
