                             JOCELYN DORSEY

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Chair recognizes the gentleman from 
Georgia (Mr. Loudermilk) for 5 minutes.
  Mr. LOUDERMILK. Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague, Mr. David Scott, 
for coordinating this tribute to Jocelyn Dorsey.
  I am honored to recognize Jocelyn Dorsey, who is being inducted into 
the Georgia Association of Broadcasters Hall of Fame, for her steadfast 
commitment to journalism excellence.
  Jocelyn has served the Atlanta, Georgia, region for over 40 years in 
her reporting for WSB-TV. During her career, she has been recognized 
for her work ethic and devotion to the field of journalism. Jocelyn's 
commitment to excellence quickly advanced her career, and she has 
served as the director of editorial and public affairs at Channel 2 
since 1983.
  She has received numerous awards for her work with WSB-TV, including 
seven Southeast Regional Emmys for Editorial Excellence from the 
National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences. Jocelyn was also the 
first woman and the first African American to receive the Georgia 
Association of Broadcasters' Citizen of the Year Award, which is a 
lifetime achievement award.
  Her work speaks for itself, but she is more than a reporter, anchor, 
and director. Jocelyn is the mother of two sons and is a grandmother. 
She is also an active volunteer in her community, and she rode her 
Harley-Davidson around the country, raising thousands of dollars for 
the Special Olympics of Georgia.
  As the Atlanta Magazine puts it, Jocelyn is a ``woman making a 
mark.'' She is truly an inspiration to the journalism community.
  Congratulations, Jocelyn Dorsey, on your well-deserved induction into 
the Georgia Association of Broadcasters Hall of Fame.
