            HONORING THE WEATHER CHANNEL'S 40TH ANNIVERSARY

  (Mrs. McBATH asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Mrs. McBATH. Mr. Speaker, 40 years ago, live from Atlanta, Georgia, 
households across America were introduced to The Weather Channel. For 
the first time, Americans could get safe, reliable, trustworthy 
information about the weather 24 hours a day.
  Since its first broadcast, The Weather Channel has done far more than 
just provide up-to-date information about weather forecasts. With the 
help of friendly, familiar faces, The Weather Channel's reporting has 
inspired countless young people to wonder and care about the natural 
world around them, motivating them to study weather and our climate. 
And through their constant innovation, The Weather Channel's award-
winning breakthroughs in weather reporting have undoubtedly saved 
countless American lives.
  I am proud to lead a House Resolution with my colleague from Georgia, 
Congressman Loudermilk, to commemorate the anniversary; and I wish The 
Weather Channel continued success as they document and broadcast vital 
weather and safety information to millions of households across the 
country.
