      CHANGING THE ADDRESS OF THE CAPTAIN HUMAYUN KHAN POST OFFICE

  Mr. CONNOLLY. Mr. Speaker, I move to suspend the rules and pass the 
bill (S. 725) to change the address of the postal facility designated 
in honor of Captain Humayun Khan.
  The Clerk read the title of the bill.
  The text of the bill is as follows:

                                 S. 725

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

     SECTION 1. CAPTAIN HUMAYUN KHAN POST OFFICE.

       Section 1(a) of Public Law 115-347 (132 Stat. 5054) is 
     amended by striking ``180 McCormick Road'' and inserting 
     ``2150 Wise Street''.

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


                             General Leave

  Mr. CONNOLLY. Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent that all Members 
may have 5 legislative days in which to revise and extend their remarks 
and include extraneous material on this measure.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the 
gentleman from Virginia?
  There was no objection.
  Mr. CONNOLLY. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume.
  Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to join my colleagues today in 
consideration of S. 725, a bill to change the address of the postal 
facility designated in honor of Captain Humayun Khan. Captain Khan was 
an extraordinary military officer and an American hero who lived in 
this country since he was 2 years old.
  Mr. Khan represented the best of what it means to be an American. 
Growing up, he was captivated with the writings of Thomas Jefferson and 
his writings on freedom. It was at the school Jefferson founded, the 
University of Virginia, that Mr. Khan learned to put those ideas into 
practice. There, he joined the Reserve Officers' Training Corps.
  After graduation, Mr. Khan put his dreams of becoming a lawyer on 
hold to serve the American people on Active Duty in Iraq.
  On June 8, 2004, while serving with the 201st Battalion of the 1st 
Infantry Division, tragically, Captain Khan was killed. While visiting 
the Guard personnel on his day off, Mr. Speaker, Mr. Khan was killed by 
an improvised bomb outside Forward Operating Base Warhorse.
  It is to honor the life and memory of Captain Khan that we today 
dedicate this post office in Charlottesville, the home of his alma 
mater and the beginning of his distinguished military service, in his 
name.
  Mr. Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mrs. MILLER. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume.
  Mr. Speaker, I rise today in support of this bill that makes a 
technical change to correct the address of a post office named last 
Congress.
  The post office is named after Captain Humayun Khan, who sacrificed 
his life in service of our country.
  Captain Khan served in the Army Reserves while he studied at the 
University of Virginia and was commissioned as an officer after he 
graduated in 2000. In 2004, he was deployed to Iraq, and he was killed 
on June 8, 2004.
  This bill corrects the address, to ensure that the correct facility 
is named in Captain Khan's honor.
  Mr. Speaker, I urge my colleagues to support this bill, and I yield 
back the balance of my time.

                              {time}  1600

  Mr. CONNOLLY. Mr. Speaker, I thank my friend from West Virginia. I

think this is an important honor, and it is an important technical 
correction.
  Mr. Speaker, I urge my colleagues to support the bill, and I yield 
back the balance of my time.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on the motion offered by the 
gentleman from Virginia (Mr. Connolly) that the House suspend the rules 
and pass the bill, S. 725.
  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.
