      By Mr. STEVENS (for himself and Ms. Murkowski):
  S. 1275. A bill to designate the facility of the United States Postal 
Service located at 7172 North Tongass Highway, Ward Cove, Alaska, as 
the `Alice R. Brusich Post Office Building'; to the Committee on 
Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs.
  Mr. STEVENS. Mr. President, I send to the desk legislation to 
designate the U.S. Post Office located at 7172 North Tongass Highway in 
Ward Cove, AK after Alice R. Brusich.
  Alice Brusich started her career with the Postal Service in 1954 as 
an Assistant Postmaster. Through her hard work and efforts, she became 
Postmaster in 1956.
  During her service with the Postal Service, Alice was also one of the 
founders of the Tongass Community Club. She was also one of the 
founding members and top officer of the Alaska Chapter 51 National 
Association of Postmasters in the United States.
  Alice was also in charge of the Ketchikan Post Office in the 70's. In 
1985, Alice retired after 31 years of service. She remains an active 
supporter of the Postal service and is dedicated to improving the 
services at the Ward Cove Post Office. Alice has always been a strong 
advocate of improving and maintaining the Postal Service in Alaska, and 
it is only appropriate that we honor her service by dedicating the Ward 
Cove Post Office after her.
