  Mrs. BLACKBURN. Mr. Speaker, I want to take a moment today to 
recognize Nashville Public Television President and CEO Steve Bass for 
his years of service to our community.
  While Steve is leaving us to take on another challenge, his 
accomplishments in Nashville will be a wonderful legacy to his 
leadership and dedication.
  Since coming to Nashville in 1998, Steve has worked to help establish 
our area's public television station as a model for the 21st century.
  He has made it his mission to put the station on solid financial 
ground, and that work is paying off. Steve has set an example for the 
nation's public television stations.
  He has expanded programming and highlighted Nashville's unique 
history and culture.
  We are thankful for Steve's service and we wish him nothing but the 
best in his next endeavor.
