BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. GROTHMAN. Mr. Speaker, I move to suspend the rules and pass the bill (H.R. 3350) to designate the facility of the United States Postal Service located at 340 East 1st Street in Tustin, California, as the ``Ursula Ellen Kennedy Post Office Building''.

The Clerk read the title of the bill.

The text of the bill is as follows: H.R. 3350

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, SECTION 1. URSULA ELLEN KENNEDY POST OFFICE BUILDING.

(a) Designation.--The facility of the United States Postal Service located at 340 East 1st Street in Tustin, California, shall be known and designated as the ``Ursula Ellen Kennedy 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 ``Ursula Ellen Kennedy Post Office Building''.

Mr. Speaker, I rise in support of this bill to rename a post office in Tustin, California, for Ursula Ellen Kennedy.

Ursula and her husband raised three children in Tustin, California. She was an accomplished author, publishing more than 500 articles and a book on essays.

In 1978, Ursula became the first woman ever elected to the Tustin City Council. Twelve years later, Ursula became the first woman elected to mayor where she served for two terms.

Through her dedicated leadership to the city of Tustin, Ursula contributed to the creation of senior services, community planning, and environmental protections, leaving a lasting civic legacy.

She will be remembered for her humor, persistence, and relentless work ethic.
