section of 20A (Southwestern Blvd) to be named "Timothy J. Russert Highway."

WASHINGTON -- President Bush today signed a bill renaming part of Route 20A near Ralph Wilson Stadium after Tim Russert.

The bill, which Congress passed overwhelmingly, renames the section of the highway between Abbott Road and California Road "Timothy J. Russert Highway."

Russert, the late Washington bureau chief for NBC News, was a Buffalo native who frequently ended "Meet the Press" with the words "Go Bills!"
