                   GENERAL TRAN HUNG DAO POST OFFICE

  (Mrs. STEEL asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mrs. STEEL. Madam Speaker, I rise today to talk about an important 
figure in the Vietnamese-American community, General Tran Hung Dao.
  General Dao was one of the greatest Vietnamese military commanders of 
all time. He saved Vietnam from Mongolian invasion three times, which 
is considered one of the greatest military feats in history.
  General Dao remains a significant figure in the Vietnamese community 
today.
  I am proud to represent Little Saigon, which is home to almost 
200,000 Vietnamese Americans, the largest Vietnamese population outside 
of Vietnam.
  This week, in honor of the anniversary of his death on October 3, I 
introduced a bill that would rename a U.S. post office in Little Saigon 
as the General Tran Hung Dao Post Office. This renaming would mean so 
much to those in the Vietnamese-American community, which I am so proud 
to represent.
