                      RECOGNIZING CO-OP CITY TIMES

  (Mr. LATIMER asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. LATIMER. Mr. Speaker, in a world where local news services--
newspapers and radio stations--are disappearing on a frightening level, 
it is important to recognize and salute those organizations that are 
continuing to provide information about our localities, the lives and 
times of the individuals of our communities.
  In the Bronx--specifically, in Co-op City--we have a public debt of 
gratitude that we owe to the Co-op City Times, which is serving the 
40,000-plus people who reside there.
  Owned and operated by the Riverbay Corporation, the Co-op City Times, 
led by Rozaan Boone, editor-in-chief, and her team of reporters, covers 
the work of the Co-op Board of Directors and the many organizations of 
Co-op City, from the NAACP branch to The American Legion post and every 
other group in between.
  The Co-op City Times provides weekly news, free of charge, that 
covers the events and information of the individual building 
organizations, local arts and performances, and the churches and houses 
of worship and all of their events, and they spotlight the persons and 
the personalities that move Co-op City every day.
  I thank Co-op City Times from the floor of the House of 
Representatives for showing that local news can still be vocal news.
