         STAFF SERGEANT ROBB LURA ROLFING POST OFFICE BUILDING

  Mr. HIGGINS of Louisiana. Mr. Speaker, I move to suspend the rules 
and pass the bill (S. 2143) to designate the facility of the United 
States Postal Service located at 320 South 2nd Avenue in Sioux Falls, 
South Dakota, as the ``Staff Sergeant Robb Lura Rolfing Post Office 
Building''.
  The Clerk read the title of the bill.

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

     Dakota, shall be known and designated as the ``Staff Sergeant

     document, paper, or other record of the United States to the

                             General Leave

  Mr. HIGGINS of Louisiana. Mr. 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 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. 2143, which names a post office 
in South Dakota for Staff Sergeant Robb Lura Rolfing who served with 
honor.
  Mr. Speaker, I urge support on both sides of the aisle, and I reserve 
the balance of my time.
  Mr. RASKIN. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume.
  Mr. Speaker, I am rising in support of S. 2143. Staff Sergeant Robb 
Lura Rolfing studied astronomy and physics at Vassar. He enlisted in 
the U.S. Army in January of 2023 and was stationed at Fort Campbell in 
Kentucky with 101st Airborne Division. He completed his first tour in 
Iraq before joining the U.S. Army Special Forces where he

earned his Green Beret. At the age of 29, on June 20, 2007, Staff 
Sergeant Rolfing was killed in action in Iraq.
  Mr. Speaker, I urge my colleagues to honor his life by naming a post 
office in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, after him, 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, to honor Staff Sergeant Rolfing, 
who paid the ultimate sacrifice in protecting our country, and 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. 2143.
  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.
