             CONGRATULATIONS TO BOB MAYER ON HIS RETIREMENT

  (Mr. LINCOLN DIAZ-BALART of Florida asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute.)
  Mr. LINCOLN DIAZ-BALART of Florida. Bob Mayer is south Florida's most 
tenured television newscaster. He has logged more hours both in the 
field and at the anchor desk than any other south Florida television 
journalist.
  Bob joined WTVJ News in June of 1969. Over the years, he has held 
numerous positions at TVJ, such as investigative and consumer reporter, 
crime reporter, business reporter, general assignment reporter, and 
talk show cohost. In addition, he served as anchor of TVJ's early 
evening newscasts, weekend newscasts, and midday morning newscasts. Bob 
has been coanchoring the NBC 6 morning show ``Today in South Florida'' 
since 1990. He is an extraordinary journalist.
  Bob Mayer retires this week from NBC 6, and our entire community will 
miss his professionalism and objectivity dearly. Congratulations for a 
job well done, Bob. The best to you and your family.
