                         TRIBUTE TO SCOTT SLADE

 Mr. OSSOFF. Madam President, I rise to honor a titan in 
Atlanta's media industry, someone whose name--and voice--are a staple 
of everyone's morning routine.
  Scott Slade began his storied career at WSB Radio in 1984 on an 
overnight music show. In 1991, he took over as host of ``Atlanta's 
Morning News,'' becoming the longest running host in the Atlanta 
market. Last month, Slade announced he would step aside from daily 
hosting duties of ``Atlanta Morning News.''
  Slade's service to the community extends beyond his duties on air as 
a trusted voice for news. In 2000, Slade started the WSB Radio ``Care-
a-Thon'' for Children's Healthcare of Atlanta's Cancer Center, helping 
raise millions of dollars to fight childhood cancer and blood 
disorders. Slade's voice and journalism has informed Georgians for 
decades, and we are all grateful to him.
  As Georgia's U.S. Senator, I recognize and commend Scott Slade on his 
historic career and on his induction into the Georgia Association of 
Broadcasters Hall of Fame on March 15, 2023.
