OFFICER ZANE T. COOLIDGE POST OFFICE
Mr. GILL of Texas. Madam Speaker, I move to suspend the rules and
pass the bill (H.R. 3393) to designate the facility of the United
States Postal Service located at 12208 North 19th Avenue in Phoenix,
Arizona, as the ``Officer Zane T. Coolidge Post Office''.
The Clerk read the title of the bill.
The text of the bill is as follows:
H.R. 3393
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of
the United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. OFFICER ZANE T. COOLIDGE POST OFFICE.
(a) Designation.--The facility of the United States Postal
Service located at 12208 North 19th Avenue in Phoenix,
Arizona, shall be known and designated as the ``Officer Zane
T. Coolidge 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 ``Officer Zane T. Coolidge Post Office''.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to the rule, the gentleman from
Texas (Mr. Gill) and the gentleman from Virginia (Mr. Subramanyam) each
will control 20 minutes.
The Chair recognizes the gentleman from Texas.
General Leave
Mr. GILL of Texas. Madam 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 Texas?
There was no objection.
Mr. GILL of Texas. Madam Speaker, I yield 5 minutes to the gentleman
from Arizona (Mr. Hamadeh).
Mr. HAMADEH of Arizona. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor the life
and heroic sacrifice of Phoenix Police Officer Zane T. Coolidge and to
urge support for my legislation, H.R. 3393, which designates the United
States Postal Service facility located in Phoenix, Arizona, as the
Officer Zane T. Coolidge Post Office.
On September 6, 2024, at just 29 years old, Officer Coolidge
succumbed to his wounds after being shot in the line of duty while
responding to a larceny call in Phoenix. In an instant, a devoted
husband, loving father, brother, son, and uncle was taken from his
family and from the community he swore to protect.
Officer Coolidge embodied the highest ideals of public service. He
answered the call every day, knowing the risks. On that tragic day, he
made the ultimate sacrifice so that others might be safe.
His courage, integrity, and selflessness represent the very best of
the men and women who wear the badge and stand between law-abiding
citizens and chaos.
Naming this post office in his honor is a small but enduring tribute,
a permanent reminder to every Arizonan who walks through those doors of
the bravery and devotion of Officer Zane Coolidge and all those who
have given their last full measure of devotion and service to our
communities. What makes it even more special and meaningful is that the
building sits right across the street from Thunderbird High School,
where Zane graduated in 2013.
Officer Coolidge's legacy will not be defined by the day he was taken
from us but by the life he lived and the lives he protected.
May this designation ensure that his name and his sacrifice are
remembered for generations to come.
Madam Speaker, I urge my colleagues to support H.R. 3393.
Mr. SUBRAMANYAM. Madam Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may
consume.
Madam Speaker, I rise today in support of H.R. 3393 as well to
designate the facility of the United States Postal Service at 12208
North 19th Avenue in Phoenix, Arizona, as the Officer Zane T. Coolidge
Post Office.
Zane Coolidge served in the Phoenix Police Department for 5 years. He
was tragically shot while on duty protecting his community.
Madam Speaker, I encourage my colleagues to join me in honoring the
life of Officer Coolidge and support this bill. I yield back the
balance of my time.
Mr. GILL of Texas. Madam Speaker, I encourage my House colleagues to
support this bill naming the post office for Officer Zane T. Coolidge,
who paid the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty, and I yield back
the balance of my time.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on the motion offered by the
gentleman from Texas (Mr. Gill) that the House suspend the rules and
pass the bill, H.R. 3393.
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.
