                  RECOGNIZING AND HONORING PAULA SANDS

  (Mr. SORENSEN asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. SORENSEN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor a local leader in 
broadcast news and fellow Quad citizen.
  For more than 40 years, families in our region could count on the 
friendly demeanor and seasoned professionalism of Paula Sands on KWQC 
TV 6 News.
  Paula boasts an accomplished career, taking the helm as the region's 
youngest woman to host her own TV show at the age of 23. Since then, 
and for the past three decades, she hosted ``Paula Sands Live'', a news 
show dedicated to current events and local businesses.
  She is an Emmy award winner. She has taken a seat in the National 
Academy of Television Arts and Sciences' Silver Circle.
  All the while, Paula served her hometown as a trusted voice.
  Mr. Speaker, I am honored to enter the contributions of such a 
legendary figure into the Record. I wish Paula Sands my sincerest 
gratitude and well-wishes as she enters retirement.
