                           HONORING LOU DOBBS

  (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 recognize my friend, Louis Carl Dobbs, 
from Childress, Texas, who sadly passed away at the age of 78.
  Lou Dobbs, born on September 24, 1945, to Frank and Lydia Dobbs, 
earned a bachelor's degree in economics from Harvard University. He 
then moved into journalism, starting as a reporter in Arizona and later 
working as a television anchor in Phoenix and Seattle.
  He joined CNN at its inception in 1980, and he hosted ``Moneyline.'' 
Later in 2010, he joined Fox Business Network, hosting ``Lou Dobbs 
Tonight'' until 2021. He also hosted ``Lou Dobbs Radio'' and wrote for 
Money Magazine, U.S. News & World Report, and the New York Daily News.
  He is remembered for his dedication to his profession and his impact 
on the field of journalism, leaving behind a legacy of in-depth 
reporting that shaped the way many Americans understood political 
issues.
  Lou was a dear friend of mine. He will be missed greatly. He was 
never afraid to tell the hard truth, something that is missing today in 
journalism, and that is something that is hard to find, of course, in 
the world in general.
  I am praying for Lou's family and his friends during their time of 
loss, Mr. Speaker. I thank Lou for being my friend.
