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.
“RECOGNIZING 70 YEARS OF KRVN” mentioning Deb Fischer was published in the Senate section on page S315 on Feb. 3.
Of the 100 senators in 117th Congress, 24 percent were women, and 76 percent were men, according to the Biographical Directory of the United States Congress.
Senators' salaries are historically higher than the median US income.
The publication is reproduced in full below:
RECOGNIZING 70 YEARS OF KRVN
Mrs. FISCHER. Mr. President, I would like to take a moment to recognize the 70th anniversary of KRVN, a longtime Nebraska radio station.
KRVN was founded in 1951 to bring the news to Nebraska's rural communities, and they have remained committed to that mission throughout their existence.
From the very beginning, Nebraska's farmers and ranchers have depended on their straightforward approach to the stories that matter most, and their outstanding reporting continues to be a crucial part of our agriculture industry's success.
As everyone who has listened to KRVN knows, they have achieved 70 years of success because they put their audience first. That is no accident--KRVN is one of the only radio stations in the country that is owned by a cooperative of farmers and ranchers.
As a cattle rancher myself, my family, friends, and neighbors have listened to their daily livestock reports for decades, and I always enjoy stopping by their studios when I am in Lexington, NE.
As a lifelong Nebraskan, I am immensely proud of all they have done for our State.
I congratulate them on reaching this historic milestone. Here is to 70 more years.
