Mr. LANGWORTHY. Mr. Speaker, I move to suspend the rules and pass the bill (H.R. 8909) to designate the facility of the United States Postal Service located at 82-6110 Mamalahoa Highway in Captain Cook, Hawaii, as the ``Army 1st Lt. John Kuulei Kauhaihao Post Office Building''.

The Clerk read the title of the bill.

The text of the bill is as follows: H.R. 8909

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, SECTION 1. ARMY 1ST LT. JOHN KUULEI KAUHAIHAO POST OFFICE BUILDING.

(a) Designation.--The facility of the United States Postal Service located at 82-6110 Mamalahoa Highway in Captain Cook, Hawaii, shall be known and designated as the ``Army 1st Lt. John Kuulei Kauhaihao 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 ``Army 1st Lt. John Kuulei Kauhaihao Post Office Building''.

I rise in support of this bill, which would rename a post office in Hawaii for First Lieutenant John Kuulei Kauhaihao.

Mr. Kauhaihao exhibited exceptional heroism while serving under the 1st Cavalry Division against armed forces in the Republic of Vietnam. I support naming a post office in memory of First Lieutenant Kauhaihao, and I encourage my colleagues to support this bill.
