                        RECOGNIZING DOUG KENNEDY

  (Mr. SMITH of Nebraska asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. SMITH of Nebraska. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the 
career of Doug Kennedy, who is retiring after 45 years of serving 
southeast Nebraska as a radio broadcaster.
  Doug's service as a reporter and news director for KWBE in Beatrice 
has spanned a remarkable seven different station ownerships. During 
that time, his accuracy and professionalism earned the trust of his 
listeners and the respect of his colleagues.
  Doug's list of accolades features more than 100 awards from the 
United Press International and Associated Press, and his enduring 
dedication has meant so much to his community.
  Described by Mayor Bob Morgan as a positive and stabilizing influence 
for the city, Doug has also served several years on the City of 
Beatrice Community Redevelopment Authority.
  Doug's steadfast work ethic is a model of Nebraska devotion to a job 
well done, and I certainly wish him a happy retirement.
