                        POSTMASTER ROBERT BROWN

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Chair recognizes the gentlewoman from 
Wyoming (Ms. Cheney) for 5 minutes.
  Ms. CHENEY. Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to rise in support of S. 4684, 
the House version of which will be coming to the floor today to honor 
former Thermopolis, Wyoming, Postmaster Robert Brown. We will be 
renaming the U.S. Post Office located at 440 Arapahoe Street in 
Thermopolis as the Robert L. Brown Post Office.
  Bob Brown's career with the Postal Service spanned 44 years, 
including 18 years as the postmaster. Brown and his wife, Jerry, who 
was Senator Mike Enzi's first Sunday school teacher, are also the 
parents of Senator John Barrasso's wife, Bobbi.
  After graduating from Thermopolis High School, Brown was inducted 
into the Army in 1944 and served in both the European and Pacific 
theaters. In 1950, when he was in the National Guard, Brown deployed to 
Korea, where he was a member of the 300th Armored Field Artillery 
Battalion. Along with a unit citation, he received a combat infantry 
badge and the Purple Heart.
  After his service, Bob returned to Thermopolis and began working at 
the post office. Decades of service to his community, to his State, and 
to his country mean that it is absolutely fitting that the Thermopolis 
Post Office should bear Bob's name, and I am proud to sponsor this 
legislation.
