              CONGRATULATING JIM GARDNER ON HIS RETIREMENT

  (BRENDAN F. BOYLE of Pennsylvania asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute.)
  Mr. BRENDAN F. BOYLE of Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to 
recognize and celebrate the legendary career of Philadelphia news 
anchor Jim Gardner and to thank him for his remarkable contributions to 
the Philadelphia area and broadcast journalism.
  It was back in 1976 that Jim first started his career at 
Philadelphia's local ABC affiliate, WPVI. For more than 46 years now, 
he has helped bring the news, both good and bad, to millions of us who 
live in the Delaware Valley.
  Jim has been at the center of ensuring that Philadelphia and the 
entire region were proud in times of success, unified in moments of 
division, and calm during times of crisis.
  Mr. Speaker, as a lifelong Philadelphian, it is simply impossible to 
imagine Philadelphia TV without Jim Gardner. I thank him for his years 
of service and wish him and his family all the best.
