The Congressional Record is a unique source of public documentation. It started in 1873, documenting nearly all the major and minor policies being discussed and debated.
“TRIBUTE TO BILL ROSENDAHL” mentioning the U.S. Dept of State was published in the Extensions of Remarks section on pages E121-E122 on Jan. 18, 1995.
The publication is reproduced in full below:
TRIBUTE TO BILL ROSENDAHL
______
HON. HOWARD L. BERMAN
of california
in the house of representatives
Wednesday, January 18, 1995
Mr. BERMAN. Mr. Speaker, I am honored to pay tribute to Bill Rosendahl, senior vice president of Century Cable Television, whose commitment to public affairs and political programming is unsurpassed. Since 1987 Bill has been host of ``Week in Review,'' a talk show that brings together journalists, politicians and consultants for an often fascinating discussion of the issues. There is nothing like it on any television station in southern California.
Along with his duties on ``Week in Review,'' Bill spends much of his time interviewing politicians and, during election season, candidates,
[[Page E122]] including those from minor parties or those running for obscure offices. No political reporter in the print or broadcast media in Los Angeles is as thorough and fair as Bill. In an age when it is fashionable to be cynical and dismissive about politics, Bill is truly a breath of fresh air.
He brings impeccable credentials to his work. Prior to his arrival at Century Cable, Bill was director of corporate affairs for Westinghouse Broadcasting and Cable. He was also a White House appointee to the State Department, and has participated in many Presidential, gubernatorial, and senatorial campaigns.
This year Bill was named by the Los Angeles Chapter of the Society of Professional Journalists as the winner of its 1994 Freedom of Information Award, which honors nonjournalists who helped promote first amendment issues. With his dedication to airing all points of view and for extensive coverage of topics ranging from AIDS to the war in Bosnia, Bill Rosendahl is the perfect choice.
I ask my colleagues to join me today in saluting Bill Rosendahl, who has shown that in the right hands, television can be a marvelous source of news and information about politics and government. He brings honor to his profession.
