          STATEMENTS ON INTRODUCED BILLS AND JOINT RESOLUTIONS

      By Mr. CASSIDY (for himself and Mr. Kennedy):
  S. 4329. A bill to designate the facility of the United States Postal 
Service located at 103 Benedette Street in Rayville, Louisiana, as the 
``Luke Letlow Post Office Building''; to the Committee on Homeland 
Security and Governmental Affairs.
  Mr. CASSIDY. Madam President, I speak in support of renaming the post 
office in Rayville, LA, as the Luke Letlow Post Office Building in 
memory of a great American, Luke Letlow.
  Luke was a public servant, father, and husband in his short life of 
41 years. He spent almost all of his adult life serving his fellow 
Americans. And shortly after being elected to the U.S. House of 
Representatives to represent the fifth district of Louisiana, he became 
one of over a million Americans lost to COVID during the pandemic. Now 
his wife, Congresswoman Julia Letlow, carries on Luke's ambition to 
serve the same district that he had served both as a staffer and as a 
chief of staff to Congressman Ralph Abraham.
  When you go through Rayville, you pass that post office. Handsome 
guy, huh? So by naming this post office--and the people who know this 
story--I want them to know that our State and our country values 
someone who desired to serve so much, but also acknowledge the tragedy 
and the impact COVID had upon our State, our country, and our families. 
This office commemorates all that.
  I thank House Majority Leader   Steve Scalise for introducing the 
House companion and the whole House for passing this bill.
