  Ms. DAVIDS of Kansas. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize Kent 
Cornish, who is retiring from the Kansas Association of Broadcasters 
after serving as the President and Executive Director for 12 years.
  Kent, a graduate of the University of Kansas, has nearly 25 years of 
broadcasting experience in Kansas and is a tireless advocate for the 
local broadcasting community. He started his career as news reporter, 
anchor and assistant news director at WIBW until serving as executive 
director of the Kansas Manufactured Housing Institute in 1980. Kent 
returned to WIBW a few years later and was named program director/
operations manager. He also spent 10 years at KTKA TV in Topeka before 
becoming vice president/general manager at KSAS/KMTW in Wichita.
  Kent has left a lasting mark on Kansas. He has earned numerous 
broadcast awards including the Grover Cobb award from the University of 
Kansas and General Manager of the Year from the Broadcast Professionals 
of Wichita.
  Madam Speaker, please join me in congratulating Kent Cornish on his 
years of dedication and outstanding service to Kansas. On behalf of 
Kansas' Third District, we are so proud of Kent's hard work and wish 
him the best in the next chapter of his life.

                          ____________________
