                 CAPTAIN RHETT W. SCHILLER POST OFFICE

  Mr. ISSA. Mr. Speaker, I move to suspend the rules and pass the bill 
(S. 3630) to designate the facility of the United States Postal Service 
located at 218 North Milwaukee Street in Waterford, Wisconsin, as the 
``Captain Rhett W. Schiller Post Office''.
  The Clerk read the title of the bill.
  The text of the bill is as follows:

                                S. 3630

       Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of 
     the United States of America in Congress assembled,

     SECTION 1. CAPTAIN RHETT W. SCHILLER POST OFFICE.

       (a) Designation.--The facility of the United States Postal 
     Service located at 218 North Milwaukee Street in Waterford, 
     Wisconsin, shall be known and designated as the ``Captain 
     Rhett W. Schiller Post Office''.
       (b) References.--Any reference in a law, map, regulation, 
     document, paper, or other record of the United States to the 
     facility referred to in subsection (a) shall be deemed to be 
     a reference to the ``Captain Rhett W. Schiller Post Office''.

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to the rule, the gentleman from 
California (Mr. Issa) and the gentleman from Virginia (Mr. Connolly) 
each will control 20 minutes.
  The Chair recognizes the gentleman from Virginia.


                             General Leave

  Mr. ISSA. I ask unanimous consent that all Members may have 5 
legislative days within which to revise and extend their remarks and 
include extraneous material on the bill under consideration.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the 
gentleman from California?
  There was no objection.
  Mr. ISSA. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume.
  S. 3630, introduced by Senator Ron Johnson of Wisconsin, to designate 
a facility of the United States Postal Service located at 218 North 
Milwaukee Street in Waterford, Wisconsin, as the Captain Rhett W. 
Schiller Post Office, is again another exception to the no-postal rule.

                              {time}  1320

  Captain Schiller graduated from the U.S. Military Academy at West 
Point in 2003 and was deployed to serve in Iraq in 2006. Tragically, on 
November 16, 2006, the captain was killed by enemy fire. At the time of 
the attack, Captain Schiller was leading a team of six paratroopers and 
six Iraqi Army soldiers.
  The captain leaves behind his parents, William and Karla. He was 
awarded several medals for his heroism, including the Bronze Star and 
the Purple Heart.
  We are grateful for his service. We make an exception to the ``no 
postal naming'' rule established because we don't have postal reform, 
and we do so on behalf of the request of the Senate, and we do so for a 
good reason. This, in fact, was a gentleman who served his country, 
whom we want to remember, and we want to remember him here today and in 
Wisconsin for years to come.
  I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. CONNOLLY of Virginia. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I 
may consume.
  I am pleased again to join with the distinguished chairman in support 
of S. 3630. Again, we are honoring service to country. We are honoring 
bravery and the ultimate sacrifice by a young American, Captain Rhett 
W. Schiller. I think it is fitting that we do rename a post office to 
honor the bravery and the sacrifice. Again, I hope to provide comfort 
to the friends and family members of the late Captain Schiller in this 
action.
  With that, I yield back the balance of my time.
  Mr. ISSA. Mr. Speaker, I urge all Members to vote for S. 3630, and I 
yield back the balance of my time.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on the motion offered by the 
gentleman from California (Mr. Issa) that the House suspend the rules 
and pass the bill, S. 3630.
  The question was taken; and (two-thirds being in the affirmative) the 
rules were suspended and the bill was passed.
  A motion to reconsider was laid on the table.
