BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. COMER. Mr. Speaker, I move to suspend the rules and pass the bill (H.R. 8841) to designate the facility of the United States Postal Service located at 114 Center Street East in Roseau, Minnesota, as the ``Floyd B. Olson Post Office''.

The Clerk read the title of the bill.

The text of the bill is as follows: H.R. 8841

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, SECTION 1. FLOYD B. OLSON POST OFFICE.

(a) Designation.--The facility of the United States Postal Service located at 114 Center Street East in Roseau, Minnesota, shall be known and designated as the ``Floyd B. Olson Post Office''.

(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 ``Floyd B. Olson Post Office''.

Mr. Speaker, I rise in support of this bill, which would rename a post office located in Minnesota to honor Floyd Olson.

Floyd B. Olson was born in Roseau, Minnesota, and served in the U.S. Army for 2 years following his high school graduation. He began working at the Roseau post office as a clerk in 1963 and was appointed postmaster in 1966. Floyd passed away on December 26, 2017, at the age of 86.

Mr. Speaker, I encourage my colleagues to support this bill, and I reserve the balance of my time.
