                        RECOGNIZING BOB HOUGHTON

  (Mr. CARTER of Georgia asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. CARTER of Georgia. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize the 
remarkable career of Bob Houghton.
  Bob is a giant in Georgia broadcasting and has worked with over 500 
Georgia television and radio stations during the span of his career.
  Bob is retiring as president of the Georgia Association of 
Broadcasters, a position he has held since 2012.
  Although born and raised in Chicago, Bob chose to make Georgia his 
home.
  Bob has been a live announcer for college football, baseball, and 
basketball in Georgia. He fondly refers to the University of Georgia as 
his ``adopted college'' and served for several years on the Grady 
College Board of Trust before being named a Grady Fellowship Recipient 
in 2022.
  During his career, Bob has held management positions at WGST radio, 
CBS, Georgia Public Broadcasting, and he has advocated extensively for 
the continuation of AM radio.
  Bob has earned a tremendous amount of respect in his field, and I 
hope you join me in congratulating him on a well-earned retirement.
