BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. COMER. Mr. Speaker, I move to suspend the rules and pass the bill (H.R. 8868) to designate the facility of the United States Postal Service located at 609 Portsmouth Avenue in Greenland, New Hampshire, as the ``Chief Michael Maloney Post Office Building''.

The Clerk read the title of the bill.

The text of the bill is as follows: H.R. 8868

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, SECTION 1. CHIEF MICHAEL MALONEY POST OFFICE BUILDING.

(a) Designation.--The facility of the United States Postal Service located at 609 Portsmouth Avenue in Greenland, New Hampshire, shall be known and designated as the ``Chief Michael Maloney 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 ``Chief Michael Maloney Post Office Building''.

Mr. Speaker, I rise in support of this bill, which would rename a post office located in Greenland, New Hampshire, to honor Chief Michael Maloney.

After high school, Michael joined the Army Reserve and later became the chief of the Greenland Police Department in 2000. Michael was tragically killed in the line of duty on April 12, 2012, only 8 days out from his retirement.

Mr. Speaker, I support naming a post office in honor of Chief Michael Maloney. I encourage my colleagues to support this bill, and I reserve the balance of my time.
