                CONGRATULATING ``THE MARC AND KIM SHOW''

  (Mr. BURCHETT asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. BURCHETT. Mr. Speaker, I rise to honor ``The Marc and Kim Show,'' 
which is celebrating its 24th year on Star 102.1.
  For 24 years, listeners have been able to tune in and listen to Marc 
Anthony and Kim Hansard every weekday from 5 to 10 a.m. I have always 
enjoyed going on their show, although they don't play country music, so 
I don't listen to them that much, I must say, but they are just a 
couple of folks who want to help east Tennesseans start their day off 
right, and my family is no exception.
  When my wife, Kelly, would take Isabel to school, ``The Marc and Kim 
Show'' would always be their go-to radio station. We have always 
enjoyed listening to them. They tell jokes, share stories, and also do 
a lot of good for the Knoxville community. They have used their 
platform to help good causes by hosting radiothons to raise money for 
places like East Tennessee Children's Hospital.
  My friend Kim Hansard, is also a breast cancer survivor, and she is a 
real gutsy lady, Mr. Speaker. She has done a lot of great work with the 
American Cancer Society in our area.

  On a personal level, I got to see their kindness firsthand when my 
daughter Isabel got hurt in a bad accident with her horse a couple of 
years ago. Kim brought a wonderful casserole by the house. She was just 
wonderful. She was a huge help while Isabel was recovering and Kelly 
and I were staying with her at the hospital.
  Marc and Kim have spent 24 years sharing their lives with the 
Knoxville community, making it the longest running morning show in 
Knoxville history. Here is to many more years, Marc and Kim, and please 
try to play some country music.
