                  PFC JANG HO KIM POST OFFICE BUILDING

  Mrs. CAROLYN B. MALONEY of New York. Madam Speaker, I move to suspend 
the rules and pass the bill (H.R. 6630) to designate the facility of 
the United States Postal Service located at 1400 N Kraemer Blvd. in 
Placentia, California, as the ``PFC Jang Ho Kim Post Office Building''.
  The Clerk read the title of the bill.
  The text of the bill is as follows:

                               H.R. 6630

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

     SECTION 1. PFC JANG HO KIM POST OFFICE BUILDING.

       (a) Designation.--The facility of the United States Postal 
     Service located at 2400 N Kraemer Blvd. in Placentia, 
     California, shall be known and designated as the ``PFC Jang 
     Ho Kim 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 ``PFC Jang Ho Kim Post Office Building''.

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to the rule, the gentlewoman from 
New York (Mrs. Carolyn B. Maloney) and the gentlewoman from New Mexico 
(Ms. Herrell) each will control 20 minutes.
  The Chair recognizes the gentlewoman from New York.


                             General Leave

  Mrs. CAROLYN B. MALONEY of New York. 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 New York?
  There was no objection.
  Mrs. CAROLYN B. MALONEY of New York. I yield myself such time as I 
may consume.
  Madam Speaker, I rise today in support of H.R. 6630 to designate the 
facility of the U.S. Postal Service located at 1400 North Kraemer 
Boulevard in Placentia, California, as the PFC Jang Ho Kim Post Office 
Building.
  PFC Kim was born in Seoul, South Korea, and immigrated to the United 
States with his family in 1990. He lived in New York before moving to 
Orange County.
  He graduated from Valencia High School and enrolled in Fullerton 
College, then enlisted in the U.S. Army in June 2005, completing both 
basic training and advanced individual training at Fort Benning, 
Georgia.
  PFC Kim was then stationed in Germany as part of the Army's 1st 
Infantry Division before being deployed to Baghdad. Tragically, he was 
one of two soldiers killed when a roadside bomb exploded near their 
vehicle. He received the Bronze Star Medal, Purple Heart, National 
Defense Service Medal, Iraq Campaign Medal, and four other awards, 
medals, and badges for his exemplary service and sacrifice.
  Madam Speaker, I encourage my colleagues to join me in honoring the 
life of PFC Jang Ho Kim by naming a Post Office in Placentia, 
California, after him, and I reserve the balance of my time.
  Ms. HERRELL. Madam Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may 
consume.
  Madam Speaker, I rise today in support of H.R. 6630 which honors 
Private First Class Jang Ho Kim.
  Born in South Korea, he immigrated to the U.S. with his family in 
1990, lived in New York, and later in Orange County, California.
  He enlisted in the U.S. Army in June 2005, completing basic training 
and advanced individual training at Fort Benning, Georgia. He was 
deployed to Baghdad, though he never told his family of his deployment 
because he did not want to worry them.
  Sadly, he was killed when a roadside bomb exploded near his vehicle. 
For his service and sacrifice, after his passing, he received a Bronze 
Star and a Purple Heart. PFC Jang Ho Kim was an American patriot who 
paid the ultimate sacrifice in service to our Nation.
  Madam Speaker, I strongly encourage my colleagues to support this 
bill, and I reserve the balance of my time.
  Ms. HERRELL. Madam Speaker, I encourage my colleagues to support this 
bill, and I yield back the balance of my time.
  Mrs. CAROLYN B. MALONEY of New York. Madam Speaker, I urge passage of 
H.R. 6630, and I yield back the balance of my time.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on the motion offered by the 
gentlewoman from New York (Mrs. Carolyn B. Maloney) that the House 
suspend the rules and pass the bill, H.R. 6630.
  The question was taken.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. In the opinion of the Chair, two-thirds 
being in the affirmative, the ayes have it.
