Richard G. Lugar Post Office

Floor Speech

I rise to speak on S. 3105, a bill to designate the facility of the United States Postal Service located at 456 North Meridian Street in Indianapolis, Indiana, as the Richard G. Lugar Post Office.

Senator Lugar left the United States Senate as the longest serving Member of Congress in Indiana history. During his time in the Senate, he was internationally recognized. Senator Lugar was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom. Her Majesty the Queen of England even bestowed on him the rank of honorary Knight Commander of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire in honor of his work to make the world more secure from weapons of mass destruction.

This House already passed the House version of this bill, H.R. 3152, last October. I thank Senator Braun for sponsoring this bill.

Mrs. CAROLYN B. MALONEY of New York. Mr. Speaker, I just would like to urge my colleagues to support this bill unanimously.

I yield back the balance of my time.
