                       Monday, September 25, 2000

  Mr. FATTAH. Mr. Speaker, as the Ranking member of the Subcommittee on 
the Postal Service, I am pleased to join my Government Reform Committee 
colleague, Congresswoman Judy Biggert (R-IL) in the consideration of 
H.R. 4451. H.R. 4451, which designates a United States Post Office 
after ``Frederick L. Dewberry, Jr.'', was introduced by my good friend 
and committee colleague, Representative Elijah Cummings (D-MD), on May 
15, 2000.
  Mr. Frederick L. Dewberry, Jr. was born and raised in Baltimore City. 
He is a graduate of Loyola College and received a law degree from the 
University of Baltimore. A dedicated and distinguished World War II 
veteran, Lieutenant Dewberry served in the U.S. Navy, working as a 
sonar operator on submarines. Returning to Maryland, Mr. Dewberry held 
the very important post of Chairman of the Baltimore County Council 
from 1964 to 1966. From 1979 to 1984, Frederick Dewberry was the Deputy 
Secretary of the Maryland Department of Transportation. He passed 10 
years ago, on July 9, 1990.
  Mr. Speaker, I urge swift adoption of this measure and commend my 
colleague, Congressman Cummings for seeking to honor Frederick L. 
Dewberry--a veteran and true public servant.
