                        TRIBUTE TO LARRY ZIMMER

 Mr. GARDNER. Mr. President, I wish to honor the voice of CU 
Buffalo football, Mr. Larry Zimmer, who will be calling his last game 
and celebrating his 80th birthday on November 13.
  Mr. Zimmer joined the University of Colorado broadcasting team in 
1971. He has since led a career filled with many awards and 
distinctions, which highlight his dedication to CU sports. He is a 
five-time winner of the Colorado Sportscaster of the Year award and 
recipient of the esteemed Chris Schenkel Award, given to those who 
dedicate their talents to college football. Even more important than 
these awards, however, is the respect and admiration he has earned from 
the students and faculty at the University of Colorado and all those 
who tune in to Buffalo football.
  Over his long and distinguished career, he has truly become a 
hallmark of CU football games. I thank him for his many years of 
excellent broadcasting and wish him a very happy birthday.
