            HENDERSON VETERANS MEMORIAL POST OFFICE BUILDING

  Ms. KELLY of Illinois. Madam Speaker, I move to suspend the rules and 
pass the bill (H.R. 1198) to designate the facility of the United 
States Postal Service located at 404 South Boulder Highway in 
Henderson, Nevada, as the ``Henderson Veterans Memorial Post Office 
Building''.
  The Clerk read the title of the bill.
  The text of the bill is as follows:

                               H.R. 1198

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

     SECTION 1. HENDERSON VETERANS MEMORIAL POST OFFICE BUILDING.

       (a) Designation.--The facility of the United States Postal 
     Service located at 404 South Boulder Highway in Henderson, 
     Nevada, shall be known and designated as the ``Henderson 
     Veterans Memorial Post Office Building''.
       (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 ``Henderson Veterans Memorial Post Office 
     Building''.

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to the rule, the gentlewoman from 
Illinois (Ms. Kelly) and the gentleman from Ohio (Mr. Gibbs) each will 
control 20 minutes.
  The Chair recognizes the gentlewoman from Illinois.


                             General Leave

  Ms. KELLY of Illinois. Madam 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 
gentlewoman from Illinois?
  There was no objection.
  Ms. KELLY of Illinois. Madam Speaker, I yield myself such time as I 
may consume.
  Madam Speaker, I am pleased to join my colleagues in consideration of 
H.R. 1198, to designate the facility of the United States Postal 
Service, located at 404 South Boulder Highway in Henderson, Nevada, as 
the Henderson Veterans Memorial Post Office Building.
  Every day, Americans across this great country rely on more than 2 
million brave men and women who have committed their lives to ensuring 
the comfort and safety of the rest of us by serving in the United 
States military.
  Today, there are more than 18 million veterans who have served in the 
armed services. These brave Americans protect the very foundation of 
this great country. Naming a post office to honor the veterans who have 
served and sacrificed for us is but a small part of what these brave 
men and women deserve from the country to whom they have given so much.
  Madam Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. GIBBS. Madam Speaker, I yield myself as much time as I may 
consume.
  Madam Speaker, I rise today to support H.R. 1198, which names a post 
office in Henderson, Nevada, in honor of the city's veterans.
  The men and women from Henderson, Nevada--and all veterans--who 
fought to protect this Nation should be honored. They leave their homes 
and their families to defend our freedom. Veterans put their lives on 
the line for the liberties we enjoy. Today, we celebrate and honor the 
veterans from Henderson, Nevada.
  Madam Speaker, I urge my colleagues to support this bill, and I yield 
back the balance of my time.
  Ms. KELLY of Illinois. Madam Speaker, I yield back the balance of my 
time.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on the motion offered by the 
gentlewoman from Illinois (Ms. Kelly) that the House suspend the rules 
and pass the bill, H.R. 1198.
  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.
