               RHODE ISLAND VETERANS POST OFFICE BUILDING

  Mr. REED. Mr. President, I am pleased that the Senate passed 
legislation, H.R. 3942, earlier this month to redesignate the U.S. Post 
Office in Middletown the ``Rhode Island Veterans Post Office 
Building,'' and I thank Congressman Patrick Kennedy for introducing 
this important legislation in the House of Representatives. I recognize 
the important contributions and sacrifices that our military veterans 
have made for our country. The celebration of the 60th anniversary of 
the D-Day invasion at Normandy this month again highlighted the great 
sacrifices that our brave soldiers have made, and continue to make 
today in Afghanistan, Iraq and throughout the world. I am proud to 
support naming the U.S. Post Office in Middletown in their honor.
