               HONORING NEWSCHANNEL 9 ANCHOR DAN CUMMINGS

  (Mr. KATKO asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. KATKO. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor the renowned 37-year 
career of NewsChannel 9 anchor Dan Cummings.
  For nearly four decades, Dan Cummings has been one of the most 
trusted names in local news and has earned a well-deserved reputation 
for his integrity and investigative prowess.
  A native of Cayuga County, Dan Cummings grew up in central New York 
and got his start in journalism working at local radio stations. In 
1984, Dan Cummings joined the NewsChannel 9 team and, in 2008, began 
anchoring the morning news. Notably, Dan was the driving force behind 
``Newsmakers,'' a weekly public affairs program.
  In these prominent roles, Dan Cummings has been celebrated for his 
ability to conduct smart, original reporting and communicate even the 
most difficult stories in a calm and straightforward manner.
  I have known Dan Cummings for many years. I can unequivocally say he 
is one of the most fair and genuine news professionals and is an 
extremely generous man who is actively involved in multiple charities.
  Madam Speaker, I ask that my colleagues in the House join me in 
honoring Dan Cummings for an incredible

career in broadcast journalism and wishing him the best in his 
retirement.
