                             General Leave

  Mr. DONALDS. Madam Speaker, I ask unanimous consent that all Members 
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 
gentleman from Florida?
  There was no objection.
  Mr. DONALDS. Madam Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may 
consume.
  I rise today in support of H.R. 1060, which names a post office in 
San Bernardino, California, for Dr. Margaret B. Hill.
  Dr. Hill attended California State University, San Bernardino, and 
spent much of her life as an educational leader in the San Bernardino 
community.
  She served as the principal of San Andreas High School for 16 years, 
and later as the assistant superintendent of administrative services 
for the San Bernardino school system.
  In 2001, she was elected to the San Bernardino City Unified Board of 
Education, a position she remained in for 10 years.
  Madam Speaker, I encourage my colleagues to support this legislation 
honoring a dedicated, local civil servant, and I reserve the balance of 
my time.
  Mr. RASKIN. Madam Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume.
  I rise in support of H.R. 1060 to designate the facility of the 
United States Postal Service located at 1660 East Date Place in San 
Bernardino, California, as the Dr. Margaret B. Hill Post Office 
Building.
  The legislation introduced by my friend and colleague, Mr. Aguilar, 
would rename the Del Rosa Post Office to honor Dr. Hill, a beloved 
educator and longtime advocate for the people of San Bernardino.
  I yield such time as he may consume to the gentleman from California 
(Mr. Aguilar).
  Mr. AGUILAR. Madam Speaker, I thank the ranking member and the 
majority for working with us on this bill.
  I rise today in strong support of H.R. 1060, which would rename the 
Del Rosa Post Office in San Bernardino after Dr. Margaret B. Hill.
  Dr. Hill was truly the heartbeat of San Bernardino. Her life was 
marked by an unparalleled commitment to both community in the classroom 
and beyond. Through her compassion, her dedication, and her generosity, 
she changed countless lives for the better.
  As an educator and advocate, she ushered in positive change and 
steered students in the right direction for a brighter future. She was 
called the North Star for the San Bernardino County community when it 
came to issues of poverty, homelessness, race, and foster youth.
  After decades in the classroom as a teacher, vice principal, and 
principal, she retired but still found time to serve as an educator 
before she became elevated to serve as an elected school board member.
  For Dr. Hill, there was simply no task that was beneath her when it 
came to helping students. Her tutelage has shaped our community in 
profound ways leaving an enduring legacy that transcends time.
  I am so proud to lead this bill to enshrine her legacy in San 
Bernardino. I hope it will remind all of us in the years to come that 
we must continue to carry forward that legacy. I was honored to know 
her and work with her, and this will ensure that future generations 
will recognize and appreciate the impact that Dr. Hill had on our 
community.
  Madam Speaker, I urge adoption of this bill.
  Mr. DONALDS. Madam Speaker, I have no further speakers, I am prepared 
to close, and I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. RASKIN. Madam Speaker, I have no further speakers, but I 
encourage all of my colleagues to join us in honoring the life of Dr. 
Hill by naming the post office in San Bernardino after her.
  Madam Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time.
  Mr. DONALDS. Madam Speaker, I urge my colleagues to support this 
bipartisan bill, and I yield back the balance of my time.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on the motion offered by the 
gentleman from Florida (Mr. Donalds) that the House suspend the rules 
and pass the bill, H.R. 1060.
  The question was taken.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. In the opinion of the Chair, two-thirds 
being in the affirmative, the ayes have it.
  Mr. DONALDS. Madam Speaker, I object to the vote on the ground that a 
quorum is not present and make the point of order that a quorum is not 
present.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to clause 8 of rule XX, further 
proceedings on this question will be postponed.
  The point of no quorum is considered withdrawn.
