IN HONOR OF H.R. 4425, THE DESIGNATION OF THE ``EUGENE J. McCARTHY POST 
                  OFFICE'' IN COLLEGEVILLE, MINNESOTA

                                  _____
                                 

                          HON. BETTY McCOLLUM

                              of minnesota

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, June 7, 2016

  Ms. McCOLLUM. Mr. Speaker, I rise to support H.R. 4425 and honor the 
late Senator Eugene McCarthy, from Minnesota. H.R. 4425 will rename the 
postal facility located at 110 East Powerhouse Road in Collegeville, 
Minnesota, as the ``Eugene J. McCarthy Post Office.''
  Before becoming a two-term Senator for the great state of Minnesota, 
Senator McCarthy was one of my predecessors, representing the people of 
the 4th District of Minnesota. In both the House and the Senate, 
Senator McCarthy took pride in representing Minnesota and was widely 
recognized for his collegiality and passion for good governance. 
Perhaps President Lyndon B. Johnson said it best when he referred to 
Senator McCarthy as ``one of those uncommon men who puts his courage in 
the service of his country, and whose eloquence and energy are at the 
side of what is right and good.''
  As a graduate of both Saint John's Preparatory School and Saint 
John's University in Collegeville, Minnesota, I am sure Senator 
McCarthy would be happy to know that the Collegeville Post Office will 
now forever bear his name.
