On the recordMarch 3, 1994
Today, WTOP is celebrating the 25th anniversary of its all-news format. I am sure Charles Osgood will have something in rhyme to commemorate the occasion, but I would like to add my appreciation, on behalf of the Senate, for the tremendous public service performed by this great station. Washington thrives on information. The Congress and the White House are often called upon to react to this information and we are dependent upon the integrity of those sources of information. WTOP performs a great public service for the people of Washington and those who work on Capitol Hill.
