  Mr. HIGGINS. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor Buffalo and Western 
New York letter deliverers who are part of the National Association of 
Letter Carriers (NALC).
  This month, NALC collected more than 70 million pounds of food for 
local food banks, pantries, and shelters to help needy families as part 
of its nationwide ``Stamp Out Hunger''

drive. I would like to specifically recognize the Branch 3 carriers in 
Buffalo and Western New York for collecting more than 2 million pounds 
of donations, placing them as the top NALC local branch in the drive 
for the fifth consecutive year.
  With one in five American children living in poverty, we must all do 
our part to end hunger. I am proud of the efforts that these 
hardworking men and women have taken to better their community and I 
ask that all Americans join in the effort to stamp out hunger.
