Assembly Resolution No. 942

BY: M. of A. Sayegh

 MEMORIALIZING Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim
 February 13, 2026, as Radio Day in the State of New
 York

 WHEREAS, It is the practice of this Legislative Body to acknowledge
and celebrate individuals and events of historic significance to this
great Empire State; and

 WHEREAS, Attendant to such concern, and in full accord with its
long-standing traditions, this Legislative Body is justly proud to
memorialize Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim February 13, 2026, as
Radio Day in the State of New York, in conjunction with the observance
of World Radio Day; and

 WHEREAS, German physicist Heinrich Hertz discovered radio waves in
1887, a milestone which paved the way for numerous advances in
communication technology; and

 WHEREAS, According to the National Aeronautics and Space
Administration (NASA), radio waves have the longest wavelengths in the
electromagnetic spectrum, and radio devices work by receiving these
electromagnetic radio waves and converting them to mechanical vibrations
in the speaker to create the sound waves you can hear; and

 WHEREAS, Frequency modulation (FM) system of radio broadcasting,
which is now the home of most music stations, was invented in Yonkers in
1937 by Edwin Armstrong; and

 WHEREAS, Radio has the ability to cross international boundaries and
bring news, entertainment and hope to those who live in unfree
societies; on July 11, 1943, Anne Frank, while hiding from the Nazis,
wrote in her diary, "the radio, with its wondrous voice, helps us not to
lose heart and to keep telling ourselves, 'Cheer up, keep your spirits
high, things are bound to get better'"; and

 WHEREAS, Radio has advanced the cause of science even beyond the
boundaries of planet Earth, as well enabling humanity to listen to radio
waves emanating from distant planets and communicate with astronauts
exploring space; which would otherwise be impossible; and

 WHEREAS, On July 21, 1969, American astronaut Neil Armstrong used
radio communication to transmit a message from the surface of Earth's
moon: "That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind"; and

 WHEREAS, Radio plays a vital role in safeguarding freedom of speech,
press, and expression, as guaranteed by the First Amendment to the
United States Constitution, and any efforts to censor radio undermine
these fundamental freedoms; now, therefore, be it

 RESOLVED, That this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to
memorialize Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim February 13, 2026, as
Radio Day in the State of New York; and be it further

 RESOLVED, That copies of this Resolution, suitably engrossed, be
transmitted to The Honorable Kathy Hochul, Governor of the State of New
York; and the Yonkers Historical Society.
