            By Mr. CARTER of Georgia:
        H.R. 7088.
        Congress has the power to enact this legislation pursuant 
     to the following:
       Article I, Section 8, Clause 7 of the United States 
     Constitution, known as the Postal Clause, empowers Congress: 
     To establish Post Offices and post Roads.
       In addition, Article IV, Section 3, Clause 2, provides: The 
     Congress shall have Power to dispose of and make all needful 
     Rules and Regulations respecting the Territory or other 
     Property belonging to the United States; and nothing in this 
     Constitution shall be so construed as to Prejudice any Claims 
     of the United States, or of any particular State.
       The Postal Clause, an express Constitutional duty imposed 
     upon Congress, carries with it the right to establish post 
     offices, and with that right, is the concomitant right to 
     operate, name, design, refurbish, and staff such post 
     offices. This bill simply seeks to name a post office. The 
     Property Clause further buttresses the plenary right of 
     Congress to manage its properties, including implementing 
     ``needful'' rules and regulations, which would include the 
     ability to name a federal building.
