[国会记录第161卷，第120号（2015年7月28日星期二）] [备注] [页面E1140-E1141]荣誉Carl Jensen ______ HON。加利福尼亚州迈克汤普森在2015年7月28日星期二的代表房子汤普森先生。Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the life of Dr. Carl Jensen, founder of Project Censored, who passed away on April 23, 2015. Mr. Jensen was born in Brooklyn, N.Y., in 1929, the only child of Danish and Swedish immigrants. His family moved to Northern California at the outbreak of World War II, settling in Arcata in Humboldt County. Throughout his career and life, he lived many places including Europe, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Santa Barbara and eventually to Cotati in 1973 where he met his wife Sandra while teaching at Sonoma State University. Prior to his time in academia Jensen served his country as an Air Force intelligence officer in Puerto Rico during the Korean War. In addition to his wife, he is survived by two sons, Sherman Jackson of Crescent City and John Jensen of Lucerne, and two daughters, Lisa Jensen of Monterey and Pia Jensen. Mr. Jensen was a professor emeritus of Sociology and Communications Studies at Sonoma State University in California and author of Censored--The News That Didn't Make the News and Why (from 1976 to 1996), 20 Years of Censored News (1997), and Stories That Changed America: Muckrakers of the 20th Century (2000). He founded Project Censored, the internationally recognized media research project, in 1976. Project Censored has remained a distinguishing aspect of the university's curriculum for 39 years. Jensen's pioneering program of hands-on student training in independent journalism has now been adopted at dozens of college and university campuses across the country and around the world. And today, Project Censored is the longest running research project on news media censorship. A true and lasting achievement to be sure. His legacy is not fully encompassed by his published work. It also includes the hundreds of undergraduate students, at Sonoma State and in classrooms across the nation, who research news stories from the independent [[Page E1141]] press to determine if those stories were censored in the corporate media. Mr. Jensen has had a profound and lasting impact on hundreds of students in the 5th District and around the country. Mr. Speaker, it is appropriate at this time to acknowledge the life and accomplishments of Carl Jensen, a true leader, patriot, and defender of the first amendment. May he rest in peace. ____________________
