                         Monday, July 15, 2019

  Ms. JOHNSON of Texas. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize and 
congratulate Willis Johnson for his induction into the 2019 Texas Radio 
Hall of Fame.
  Mr. Johnson spent the majority of his career as a program manager and 
radio talk show host for the Dallas-based KKDA-AM. He used his show to 
advocate on behalf of the African American community in Dallas, 
highlighting critical issues that disproportionately affected our 
community and providing a platform for underrepresented voices.
  In addition to his career in radio, Mr. Johnson is the CEO of JBJ 
Management--a public affairs firm specializing in business to 
government community engagement. He is also a recipient of the Lifetime 
Leadership Award from the Dallas Business Journal for his exceptional 
social and civic service.
  Mr. Johnson will join a distinguished crowd of inductees into the 
Texas Radio Hall of Fame including Walter Cronkite, Verne Lundquist, 
and Willie Nelson, to name a few.
  I am pleased to recognize the achievements of Mr. Johnson and wish 
him continued success. His contributions to the Dallas community are 
truly immeasurable.
