                      DESSIE A. BEBOUT POST OFFICE

  Mr. HIGGINS of Louisiana. Mr. Speaker, I move to suspend the rules 
and pass the bill (S. 2274) to designate the facility of the United 
States Postal Service located at 112 Wyoming Street in Shoshoni, 
Wyoming, as the ``Dessie A. Bebout Post Office''.
  The Clerk read the title of the bill.
  The text of the bill is as follows:

                                S. 2274

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

     SECTION 1. DESSIE A. BEBOUT POST OFFICE.

       (a) Designation.--The facility of the United States Postal 
     Service located at 112 Wyoming Street in Shoshoni, Wyoming, 
     shall be known and designated as the ``Dessie A. Bebout Post 
     Office''.
       (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 ``Dessie A. Bebout Post Office''.

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to the rule, the gentleman from 
Louisiana (Mr. Higgins) and the gentleman from Maryland (Mr. Raskin) 
each will control 20 minutes.
  The Chair recognizes the gentleman from Louisiana.


                             General Leave

  Mr. HIGGINS of Louisiana. Mr. 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 
gentleman from Louisiana?
  There was no objection.
  Mr. HIGGINS of Louisiana. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I 
may consume.
  Mr. Speaker, I rise in support of S. 2274, which would name a post 
office in Wyoming for Dessie A. Bebout, and I encourage support from 
both sides of the aisle.
  Mr. Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. RASKIN. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume.
  Mr. Speaker, I rise in support of S. 2274. Dessie Bebout was a 
lifelong public servant, and this legislation would honor her legacy by 
naming a post office in Shoshoni, Wyoming, after her.
  We support this legislation, and I yield back the balance of my time.
  Mr. HIGGINS of Louisiana. Mr. Speaker, in closing, I encourage my 
House colleagues to support this bill honoring a veteran and a local 
postmaster, Dessie A. Bebout.
  Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on the motion offered by the 
gentleman from Louisiana (Mr. Higgins) that the House suspend the rules 
and pass the bill, S. 2274.
  The question was taken; and (two-thirds being in the affirmative) the 
rules were suspended and the bill was passed.
  A motion to reconsider was laid on the table.
