Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. COMER. Mr. Speaker, I move to suspend the rules and pass the bill (H.R. 6116) to designate the facility of the United States Postal Service located at 14280 South Military Trail in Delray Beach, Florida, as the ``Benjamin Berell Ferencz Post Office Building''.

The Clerk read the title of the bill.

The text of the bill is as follows: H.R. 6116

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, SECTION 1. BENJAMIN BERELL FERENCZ POST OFFICE BUILDING.

(a) Designation.--The facility of the United States Postal Service located at 14280 South Military Trail in Delray Beach, Florida, shall be known and designated as the ``Benjamin Berell Ferencz Post Office Building''.

(b) References.--Any reference in a law, map, regulation, document, paper, or other record of the United States to the facility referred to in subsection (a) shall be deemed to be a reference to the ``Benjamin Berell Ferencz Post Office Building''.

Mr. Speaker, I rise in support of this bill, which would rename a post office in Delray Beach, Florida, for Benjamin Berell Ferencz.

Benjamin Ferencz was an American lawyer and investigator of Nazi war crimes following World War II. He served as the chief prosecutor of the United States Army at the Einsatzgruppen Nuremberg trials. I encourage my colleagues to support the renaming of the post office after Benjamin Berell Ferencz.
