LILLIAN McKAY POST OFFICE BUILDING -- (House of Representatives - November 01, 2005)

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. DAVIS of Illinois. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume.

Mr. Speaker, as a member of the House Government Reform Committee, I am pleased to join with my colleague from Minnesota in consideration of H.R. 2413, legislation naming the postal facility in Humble, Texas, after Lillian McKay. This measure, which was introduced by Representative Ted Poe on May 17, 2005, and unanimously reported by our committee on September 15, 2005, enjoys the support and cosponsorship of the entire Texas delegation.

Lillian McKay, a native Texan, was born in Ammannsville, Texas, and grew up in Fairchilds, Texas. She married and moved with her husband to Humble, Texas.

Known as the First Lady of Humble while her husband served as mayor of Humble, Mrs. McKay has been an active member of the community and has been honored for her contributions. She has received the Humble Area Chamber of Commerce Citizen of the Year award and the Yellow Rose of Texas award, to name a few. She is the curator of the Humble Museum and has remained involved in the museum since its inception.

Mr. Speaker, I commend my colleague for seeking to honor Mrs. McKay in this manner and urge swift passage of this bill.

Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time.
