 IN HONOR OF MS. VINNIE MALLOY, NEW YORK DISTRICT MANAGER/POSTMASTER, 
                      UNITED STATES POSTAL SERVICE

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. JERROLD NADLER

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                      Thursday, February 15, 2007

  Mr. NADLER. Madam Speaker, I, along with Mr. Rangel and Mrs. Maloney 
rise today to congratulate Ms. Vinnie Malloy on the occasion of her 
retirement from the United States Postal Service.
  Ms. Malloy has broken many barriers throughout her career, which has 
been marked by excellence. From December 1998 until her retirement on 
February 2, 2007, Ms. Malloy served as the 37th District Manager and 
New York City Postmaster, the first woman to hold that distinction. In 
this position, Ms. Malloy was responsible for the delivery of mail and 
customer service for millions of residents and business customers in 
New York City. She managed 62 post offices, 46 stations and 15,000 
employees.
  Ms. Malloy joined the Postal Service in 1969, at age 21, as a 
Substitute Distribution Clerk in the James A. Farley Building. In the 
years that followed, Ms. Malloy held several positions in the Postal 
Service, including the historic first female Tour Director and Mail 
Processing Operations Manager in the New York District, as well as 
first female Bronx Postmaster.
  Through mentoring and training, Ms. Malloy has assisted and 
encouraged many of her employees to seek higher level positions. She 
has one son and serves on the Senior Usher Board of the Cambria Heights 
Community Church in Queens, NY.
  We are very grateful to Ms. Malloy for her assistance with the 
hundreds of constituent concerns we have brought to her attention over 
the years. We wish every government office were as responsive as Ms. 
Malloy and her staff have been. No matter how big or small the issue, 
our constituents have always been treated promptly and courteously. 
During her nearly 38 year career, she has been committed to the 
residents of Manhattan through her work in the United States Postal 
Service.
  Ms. Malloy paved the way for other female Postal Service employees, 
and is an inspiration and role model for all women. For her commitment 
to the Postal Service and her community, it is our privilege to 
congratulate Vinnie Malloy on her distinguished record of excellence 
and achievement and upon her retirement.
