                          HON. SUSAN A. DAVIS

                      Wednesday, February 2, 2005

  Mrs. DAVIS of California. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor a great 
man who stood up for justice and fair treatment for all Americans.
  During his life, Cesar E. Chavez was committed to providing fair 
wages, better working conditions, decent housing, and quality education 
for all. He organized in Southern California and accomplished a great 
deal to improve the living and working conditions for the people of San 
Diego.
  Mr. Chavez also made tremendous sacrifices for all Americans, serving 
the United States proudly in the Navy during WorId War II.
  His spirit and his vision are still alive today and I am determined 
to celebrate what he stood for and his great accomplishments.
  Mr. Speaker, today, I introduce legislation to rename the post office 
located at 2777 Logan Avenue in the Barrio Logan section of San Diego 
as the ``Cesar E. Chavez Post Office.''
  This is the least we can do to honor such a great but humble man 
dedicated to justice. Please join me in giving Mr. Chavez his rightful 
place in American history.
