                 FRANK J. GUARINI POST OFFICE BUILDING

                                 ______
                                 

                               speech of

                         HON. CHARLES B. RANGEL

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                       Monday, September 10, 2007

  Mr. RANGEL. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to express my support for H.R. 
2467, a bill to designate the United States Postal Service facility 
located at 69 Montgomery Street in Jersey City, NJ, as the ``Frank J. 
Guarini Post Office Building.'' I also urge my colleagues to support 
this bill.
  Congressman Guarini was born on August 20, 1924, in Jersey City, NJ. 
His career in public service began in the United States Navy during 
World War II, where he served on the USS Mount McKinley from 1944 to 
1946. After the war, he decided to pursue higher education, earning a 
B.A. degree from Dartmouth, a J.D. degree from New York University, and 
a LL.M. from the same institution in 1955.
  From 1965 to 1972, he served in the New Jersey Senate and was elected 
to represent the 14th Congressional District of New Jersey in 1979 and 
retired in 1993.
  He was an active and productive member of the Ways and Means 
Committee, where I was proud to work closely with him to ensure income 
security and health care coverage for many Americans. In the spirit of 
this historic committee, Frank was a colleague who always sought to 
achieve bipartisanship.
  Congressman Guarini is a dear friend with whom I enjoyed working in 
this great body. I admire him not just because we have very similar 
backgrounds, but because I share his pride in his Italian-American 
heritage. He is fully entitled to the honor being bestowed today.
