                            MORNING BUSINESS

                                 ______
                                 

                        80TH ANNIVERSARY OF KXEL

  Mr. GRASSLEY. Mr. President, I want to congratulate News Talk 1540 
KXEL on celebrating 80 years of broadcasting to Iowans in the Waterloo 
and Cedar Falls area. When I was younger, I remember joining my father 
at the National Cattle Congress and was excited to see one of the early 
on-location broadcasts of the new KXEL radio station.
  Iowans look to broadcasters at KXEL as trusted leaders in the 
community, relying on its programs each morning, noon, and night to 
stay up to date on local events, learn more about breaking news, and 
get critical information during emergencies. As an elected 
Representative, I particularly want to thank everyone at KXEL for their 
work to provide a way to communicate with constituents. I have the 
pleasure of speaking with Jeff Stein at least once a month, where I 
answer questions on any subject and update Iowans on how I am working 
on their behalf in Washington.
  KXEL's work every single day to report the events that matter to 
listeners keeps Iowans safe, informed, and engaged. I look forward to 
my future conversations with KXEL to achieve this shared goal.
