  Mr. MILLER of California. Mr. Speaker, in recognition of the pivotal 
contributions yielded by Francis J. Hagel to the residents of the city 
of Richmond, I am introducing this resolution designating the Social 
Security Administration's Western Program Service Center to be named 
the Francis J. Hagel Building.
  A resident of Richmond himself, Francis J. Hagel served his community 
as an Assistant Regional Commissioner for Processing Center Operations 
of the Social Security Administration's Western Program Service Center. 
Mr. Hagel oversaw the processing of benefit payment records for over 
4.5 million people throughout the Nation, enhancing the quality of life 
of the denizens who were eligible for Social Security benefits.
  As a citizen of Richmond, he was steadfast in his devotion to his 
city, providing crucial aid, in the form of community service, to 
fellow residents. As a result of his selfless and incalculable service 
to the city of Richmond and its habitants, Francis J. Hagel became an 
integral part of the foundations of the community, beloved by those who 
knew him.
  This resolution is supported by the mayor and city council of 
Richmond.
  Mr. Speaker, I'm sure you would agree, in light of these numerous 
invaluable contributions to his city and his neighbors, Francis J. 
Hagel is most deserving of the honor this resolution proposes to accord 
him in changing the name of the Social Security Administration's 
Western Program Service Center to the Francis J. Hagel Building.
