Mr. GILL of Texas.

Mr. Speaker, I rise in support of this bill, which would rename a post office in Sewickley, Pennsylvania, for Mary Elizabeth ``Bettie'' Cole.

Mrs. Cole served as the associate director of office services, director of the mailing department at Point Park College, local historian, and beloved member of her community.

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