Mr. Speaker, congratuIating WBBM-TV and the Advertising Council for their collaboration to communicate important messages to residents of the Illinois 7th Congressional District and the Public-At-Large. Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to note that WBBM-TV has been singled out by the Advertising Council Inc., for its outstanding display of public service through the pro-bono placement and airing of Public Service Announcements. I am also pleased to note that for more than 60 years, the Ad Council has marshaled the resources to deliver thousands of inspirational messages to millions of people. These messages have dealt with under- age drinking, childhood obesity, early childhood development, obesity and urging parents to use booster seats. Mr. Speaker, this collaboration has produced very positive results and I take my hat off to Mr. Joseph Ahrn, Vice President and General Manager of WBBM-TV and Ms. Peggy Conlon, President and CEO of the Advertising Council, Inc. Mr. Speaker, this collaboration and its results are a prime example of what can happen when two well-meaning and well-run business [[Page 21773]] entities team up for the public interest, good things happen. ____________________
