  Mr. ROSENDALE. Mr. Speaker, it is an honor to recognize the service 
of Pat Frisch, Program Director and Director of Content for Central 
Montana Radio Stations in Great Falls, Montana.
  Pat has a broadcasting career that has lasted over 40 years and has 
taken him from Cary, Illinois to Great Falls, Montana with stops in 
Reno and Las Vegas, Nevada, Prescott, Arizona, Lake Tahoe, California, 
and Albuquerque, New Mexico. Pat holds a spot in the Nevada Broadcaster 
Hall of Fame.
  Pat has announced his retirement from broadcasting due to health 
issues. He will be missed for his early morning humor and his ability 
to get to the bottom line of a story. Pat is a go to resource for 
breaking news for Great Falls and the many Agricultural communities 
that 560 KMON serves. Pat's passion for his family, friends, and 
especially his three dogs (Chica, Lucky, and Feefs) is evident when he 
shares his stories.
  Community members and listeners have often said they appreciate the 
questions and interviews Pat does with the elected official 
representing the state of Montana. Regardless of their political 
affiliation, Pat is always open and welcoming to politicians and 
remains fair and balanced in his questioning during interviews. This 
type of reporting has become lost

in the United States, and Pat is truly one of a kind.
  Pat Frisch's story is that of a man coming from a small community 50 
miles north of Chicago and growing his brand and reputation through 
hard work to become a trusted public figure to thousands of listeners 
throughout all of the markets he has worked in. I'm proud to 
acknowledge Pat Frisch for his service, and it is a privilege to honor 
him in the U.S. House of Representatives.
