                         HON. GEORGE RADANOVICH

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, July 10, 2007

  Mr. RADANOVICH. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor Nancy Osborne of 
Fresno, CA, an anchor and reporter with KFSN-TV, an ABC affiliate in 
Fresno, on the occasion of her 30th anniversary with the station.
  After graduating from California State University, Fresno in 1976 
with a bachelor's degree in speech communications and a year of 
graduate study, Nancy began reporting for ABC30 in 1977. At the time, 
she was one of only a handful of women in the local broadcast industry, 
and she later produced and anchored the San Joaquin Valley's first 
locally produced news magazine show.
  Since joining the station, Nancy has become a familiar and trusted 
presence throughout the Fresno region. She is a first-rate reporter who 
has set a standard of excellence for her colleagues in the media. Nancy 
has treated people with respect and dignity and has a commitment to 
fairness that is appreciated by all who have come in contact with her.
  Nancy's commitment to the San Joaquin Valley has been evident 
throughout the years, as she has shown time and again that she 
understands that the opportunity to work on behalf of the public 
interest is a unique privilege. Station officials have succinctly 
summed up Nancy's contributions, saying that she has spent 30 years 
``anchoring, producing, and reporting stories that make a difference in 
the lives of people in the San Joaquin Valley.''
  Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor Nancy Osborne. I invite my 
colleagues to join me in thanking her for her outstanding work and 
wishing Nancy many years of continued success.
