         RECOGNIZING WGY RADIO STATION ON ITS 100TH ANNIVERSARY

  (Mr. TONKO asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. TONKO. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize New York's 
Capital Region radio station, WGY, on the occasion of its 100th 
anniversary.
  Through decades of informing and entertaining Capital Region 
listeners, WGY has long stood as a pillar of the Schenectady community.
  This pioneering station, established by engineers at General Electric 
in 1922, has spent a century at the forefront of innovations in radio 
technology.
  From conducting the first two-way radio transmission to England to 
being one of the first two radio stations to broadcast baseball's World 
Series, WGY has played a key role in establishing New York's Capital 
District as a global and national hub for technological advancement.
  I extend my warm congratulations to everyone at WGY for reaching this 
historic milestone. Throughout its first 100 years, the station has 
connected with listeners through its talented and revered hosts.
  Here is to many more successful years delivering powerful stories and 
quality news to our communities. Congratulations to WGY.
