BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. DONALDS. Madam Speaker, I move to suspend the rules and pass the bill (H.R. 599) to designate the facility of the United States Postal Service located at 3500 West 6th Street, Suite 103 in Los Angeles, California, as the ``Dosan Ahn Chang Ho Post Office'', as amended.

The Clerk read the title of the bill.

The text of the bill is as follows: H.R. 599

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, SECTION 1. DOSAN AHN CHANG HO POST OFFICE REDESIGNATION.

(a) Redesignation.--Section 1 of Public Law 108-239 is amended by striking ``3751 West 6th Street in Los Angeles, California'' and inserting ``3500 West 6th Street, Suite 103 in Los Angeles, California''.

(b) References.--Any reference in a law, map, regulation, document, paper, or other record of the United States to the facility referred to in section 1 of Public Law 108-239 as amended by subsection (a) shall be deemed to be a reference to the ``Dosan Ahn Chang Ho Post Office''.

Mr. DONALDS. Madam Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume.

Madam Speaker, I rise in support of H.R. 599.

In 2004, Congress unanimously voted to designate a post office in Los Angeles as the Dosan Ahn Chang Ho Post Office.

Ahn Chang Ho and his wife immigrated to the United States as the first married couple from Korea, founding early Korean-American community groups and becoming a pivotal leader in the Korean-American community.

In 2022, the lease on the post office named for Ahn Chang Ho expired, and the Postal Service moved the post office to a new location.

This bill updates the current law passed in 2004 by transferring the Dosan Ahn Chang Ho name to the new post office building.

Mr. DONALDS. Madam Speaker, I urge my colleagues to support this bipartisan bill, and I yield back the balance of my time.
