JOHN CHARLES TRAUB POST OFFICE
Mr. HIGGINS of Louisiana. Mr. Speaker, I move to suspend the rules
and pass the bill (S. 3419) to designate the facility of the United
States Postal Service located at 1765 Camp Hill Bypass in Camp Hill,
Pennsylvania, as the ``John Charles Traub Post Office''.
The Clerk read the title of the bill.
The text of the bill is as follows:
S. 3419
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of
the United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. JOHN CHARLES TRAUB POST OFFICE.
(a) Designation.--The facility of the United States Postal
Service located at 1765 Camp Hill Bypass in Camp Hill,
Pennsylvania, shall be known and designated as the ``John
Charles Traub 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 ``John Charles Traub 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. 3419, which would honor John
Charles Traub by naming a post office in Pennsylvania in his honor, and
I reserve the balance of my time.
Mr. RASKIN. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume.
I rise in support of S. 3419. John Charles Traub, otherwise known as
Chuck, dedicated his life to this country. He was a World War II, U.S.
Army Air Corps veteran and served 40 years in the Postal Service,
including 10 years as postmaster of Camp Hill in Pennsylvania. He was a
dedicated member of numerous civil society groups and church
organizations in Camp Hill, including the Camp Hill Fire Company and
The American Legion. He volunteered at Holy Spirit Hospital. He was a
Camp Hill Borough officer and also participated at the Church of God
Nursing Home.
Chuck passed away on November 6, 2017, at the age 94, leaving a great
legacy of community service.
Mr. Speaker, I strongly support and urge passage of this legislation,
and I yield back the balance of my time.
Mr. HIGGINS of Louisiana. Mr. Speaker, I encourage my House
colleagues to support this bill, to honor John Charles Traub, a veteran
and postmaster who served his community with honor.
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. 3419.
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.
