                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. GARY G. MILLER

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, February 8, 2000

  Mr. GARY MILLER of California. Mr. Speaker, I would like to take this 
opportunity to inform my fellow colleagues that H.R. 3189, the Joseph 
Ileto Post Office in Chino Hills, California, has the support of the 
California congressional delegation.
  Today, I am submitting the names of 19 California Members who 
recently agreed to support my legislation which will name the soon-to-
completed U.S. Post Office in Chino Hills, CA after Mr. Joseph Ileto. 
These 19 names will be added to the 33 Members of the California 
delegation who support passage of the Joseph Ileto Post Office. H.R. 
3189 passed the House of Representatives on November 8, 1999 by voice 
vote and currently awaits action in the U.S. Senate.
  You may remember that Mr. Ileto, a resident of Chino Hills, was the 
postal employee who was murdered on August 10, 1999 by Buford Furrow, 
the gunman who shot and wounded five children and employees at the 
North Valley Jewish Community Center (in suburban Los Angeles).
  At the time of H.R. 3189's passage, I was listed as the only sponsor 
of the bill. The Postal Subcommittee of the House Government Reform 
Committee allowed me to introduce H.R. 3189 with the understanding that 
I would need to seek additional support within the California 
delegation. Even though my California colleagues will not be listed as 
cosponsors of H.R. 3189, they have graciously agreed to be listed as 
supporters.
  Therefore, Mr. Speaker, please add the following 19 Members as 
supporters of H.R. 3189:
  Representative Wally Herger, Representative Doug Ose, Representative 
Lynn Woolsey, Representative George Miller, Representative Barbara Lee, 
Representative Ellen Tauscher, Representative Richard Pombo, 
Representative Tom Campbell, Representative Zoe Lofgren, Representative 
Gary Condit, Representative George Radanovich, Representative Calvin 
Dooley, Representative Bill Thomas, Representative Xavier Becerra, 
Representative Lucille Royal-Allard, Representative Grace Napolitano, 
Representative Steve Kuykendall, Representative Joe Baca, and 
Representative Ron Packard.
