                           HONORING JIM EHMKE

  (Mr. MOLINARO asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. MOLINARO. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Jim Ehmke, who is 
celebrating his 25th year with NewsChannel 34 in Binghamton, New York.
  For a quarter century, families in Broome County and across the 
Southern Tier have welcomed Jim into their homes. With his distinct and 
familiar voice, Jim has shared stories of community triumph, given 
voice to the voiceless, and guided us through tragedies and moments of 
uncertainty.
  Outside the demands of the newsroom, Jim still finds time to 
volunteer on the board of the annual Spiedie Fest and Balloon Rally and 
supports the greater Binghamton Chamber of Commerce's Broome Leadership 
Institute. In this past year, he was guest narrator for the Binghamton 
Philharmonic Orchestra's holiday concert.
  I ask my colleagues to join me in honoring Jim Ehmke, the dean of 
Binghamton broadcasting for his remarkable career and his life of 
service.
  We wish Jim a happy anniversary.
