          INTRODUCTION OF THE CESAR E. CHAVEZ POST OFFICE ACT

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. SUSAN A. DAVIS

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                        Monday, January 29, 2007

  Mrs. DAVIS of California. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor a 
great man who stood up for justice and fair treatment for all 
Americans.
  During his life, Cesar E. Chavez was committed to providing fair 
wages, better working conditions, decent housing, and quality education 
for all.
  Mr. Chavez also served the United States proudly in the Navy during 
World War II.
  His spirit and his vision are still alive today and I am determined 
to celebrate what he stood for and his great accomplishments.
  Madam Speaker, today, I introduce legislation to rename the post 
office located at 2777 Logan Avenue in the Barrio Logan section of San 
Diego as the ``Cesar E. Chavez Post Office.'' This is the least we can 
do to honor such a great but humble man dedicated to justice. Please 
join me in giving Mr. Chavez his rightful place in American history.
