  HONORING JERRY ZREMSKI, BUFFALO NEWS WASHINGTON BUREAU CHIEF, UPON 
              RECEIVING THE 2018 REGIONAL REPORTING AWARD

                                 ______
                                 

                             HON. TOM REED

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                         Friday, August 2, 2019

  Mr. REED. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor Jerry Zremski, The 
Buffalo News' Washington Bureau Chief, for winning the National Press 
Club's Washington Regional Reporting Award for 2018.
  Zremski was recognized for this award due to his hard work and 
diligence in the reporting field. He has produced thorough, well-
written work that gives the people of Buffalo and beyond the 
information they need from a trusted voice they know and love. He has 
reported on breaking news regarding federal issues, several 
presidential elections and political conventions. Zremski was embedded 
as a correspondent during the Iraq War, has reported on events in 
France, and also spent time in Asia as part of his ``From Burma to 
Buffalo'' series.
  Zremski has been with The Buffalo News, starting out as a business 
reporter, since 1984. In 1989, he began his work in Washington on 
behalf of the beloved Buffalo paper, and has served as the Washington 
Bureau Chief since 2007. Previously, Zremski was a National Press Club 
president and the Nieman fellow at Harvard University. He is not a 
stranger to awards such as this, as he won the 2016 Professional 
Journalists award and last year received the Washington Press Club 
Foundation's David Lynch Memorial Reporting Award.
  Reporters are often present in places the general public cannot be, 
due either to restrictions or because they simply are not able to be. 
Jerry Zremski has done a wonderful job conveying the facts and figures 
of any given story to allow his readers a glimpse into what has 
happened. We salute and honor your work here today, Mr. Zremski. We 
know we can plan to see even more great things from you in the future.
  Given the above, I ask that this Legislative Body pause in its 
deliberations and join me to honor Jerry Zremski for receiving this 
award and his body of work.

                          ____________________
