                         ADDITIONAL STATEMENTS

                                 ______
                                 

                         RECOGNIZING GARY AMBLE

 Mr. MARSHALL. Madam President, today I wish to recognize Gary 
Amble of Kansas City, KS. For the last 30 years, Gary has worked for 
his community by broadcasting the weather. I would like to congratulate 
him on his retirement from KCTV5 and thank him for the invaluable 
service that he has provided Kansas over the last three decades.
  In 1987, Gary graduated from the University of Kansas with a degree 
in atmospheric science. Before his employment at KCTV5, Gary worked as 
the head anchor at WHO-TV in Des Moines, morning meteorologist for KDFA 
in Amarillo, weekend weathercaster for KSNT in Topeka, and chief 
weathercaster for Cable 6 in Lawrence. While in Des Moines, he worked 
22 hours continuously live on the air covering the unprecedented flood 
of 1993, which affected nine States along the Missouri and Mississippi 
Rivers. He has described it as a highlight of his career. Gary's tenure 
at KCTV5 began in the summer of 1994, where he would stay for the next 
28 years. There, he cemented himself as the Kansas City area's familiar 
face of weather, always charismatic and--most importantly--accurate 
whenever he came on screen. Because of his distinguished career, Gary 
has been awarded the American Meteorological Society seal of approval, 
and is currently a member of the society.
  Tracking and reporting on the weather is great public service, so I 
take pride in recognizing Gary Amble as an exceptional member of the 
Kansas community. I would like to wish Gary and his family the best in 
this new chapter of their lives.
