                        75TH ANNIVERSARY OF KHOZ

 Mr. BOOZMAN. Mr. President, I rise today to recognize the 75th 
anniversary of KHOZ.
  When KHOZ was established in 1946, its founders were dedicated to the 
task of bringing the people of Boone County a quality radio program for 
the whole family. That became a reality on September 28, 1946, when the 
station aired its first broadcast.
  These hard-working Arkansans connected Boone County, as the county's 
first radio station began sharing news, sports programming, and music 
with citizens in the region.
  Today, the staff at KHOZ continues this task, having successfully 
earned the admiration and trust of the Harrison community. This radio 
station has been a staple in the area, from providing jobs to keeping 
its listeners informed and bringing good times and good music over the 
airwaves. KHOZ has remained a source of comfort and joy for so many 
Harrison residents, and I am confident it will continue to do so for 
many years.
  To recognize this milestone, the KHOZ team has thoughtfully put 
together a video documentary commemorating its staff's many years of 
dedication to bettering the station and the community. The documentary 
showcases the familiar hosts and the stories they have shared with 
family, friends and coworkers. It also highlights the rich history of 
the station and follows its growth over the years. I am honored to have 
been able to contribute to this celebration.
  KHOZ's commitment to the community and its listeners is a testament 
to this station's values and dedication to the vision of its founders. 
By instilling a sense of familiarity over the years, listeners have 
connected with the station and developed special relationships with 
their favorite hosts. This public service has become a cherished piece 
of the region's history and daily life.
  Congratulations to KHOZ on its 75th anniversary and for the countless 
memories it has created for its listeners. I look forward to its 
continued success for years to come.
