                         TRIBUTE TO JIM DUNBAR

 Mrs. BOXER. Mr. President, on July 14, Jim Dunbar will rise 
well before dawn, drive to San Francisco, and broadcast his morning 
show on KGO radio. As he has done each weekday for the past quarter 
century, Jim will read and comment on the news, tell a few stories, and 
take listeners' calls. He will help his audience start their day in a 
good mood, armed with good information about the world.
  For 37 years, Jim Dunbar has served KGO and the people of the Bay 
Area with dignity, intelligence, and good humor. He blends solid 
reporting with amiable companionship without compromising either his 
journalist's integrity or his personal charm. He gives his listeners a 
good morning and his profession a good name.
  Speaking as one of his many listeners, I must add the one piece of 
sad news in this story: Although Jim Dunbar will still contribute radio 
essays and special reports for KGO, July 14 will be his last morning 
show. Like thousands of others, I will miss Jim Dunbar in the morning, 
and I wish him all the best in his future endeavors.
