Mrs. JO ANN DAVIS of Virginia. Mr. Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.

Mrs. JO ANN DAVIS of Virginia. Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent that all Members may have 5 legislative days within which to revise and extend their remarks on the bill under consideration.

Mrs. JO ANN DAVIS of Virginia. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume. Mr. Speaker, H.R. 3739, introduced by the gentleman from Pennsylvania (Mr. Brady) designates a post office located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania as the Reverend Leon Sullivan Post Office Building. Members of the entire House delegation from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania are cosponsors of this legislation. Mr. Speaker, the Reverend Leon Sullivan devoted his life to helping others help themselves. Born and raised in Charleston, West Virginia, Leon Sullivan became pastor of Zion Baptist Church in urban Philadelphia in 1950, eventually increasing its membership from 600 to 6,000, making it one of the largest congregations in America. In 1964, he founded Opportunities and Industrialization Centers, OICs, a self-help training program that has spread to 76 centers in the United States and 33 centers in 18 other countries, training more than 2 million people worldwide. In 1971, Reverend Sullivan joined the GM board of directors, and became the first African American on the board of a major corporation. In 1977, Reverend Sullivan developed a code of conduct for companies operated in South Africa. The ``Sullivan Principles'' created a revolution in industrial race relations and were instrumental in dismantling apartheid. In 1999, the Global Sullivan Principles were issued at the United Nations. This expanded code calls for multinational companies to take an active role in the advancement of human rights and social justice. Among his many other honors, in 1992 Sullivan was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the highest civilian award given in the United States. Reverend Leon Sullivan died on April 24, 2001, of leukemia at a Scottsdale, Arizona hospital. He was 78. I urge adoption of H.R. 3739. Mr. Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.

Mrs. JO ANN DAVIS of Virginia. Mr. Speaker, I urge all Members to support this important piece of legislation.

Mrs. JO ANN DAVIS of Virginia. Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent that all Members may have 5 legislative days within which to revise and extend their remarks on the bill under consideration.

Mrs. JO ANN DAVIS of Virginia. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume. Mr. Speaker, H.R. 3738, introduced by the gentleman from Pennsylvania (Mr. Brady) is to designate the post office located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, as the ``Herbert Arlene Post Office Building.'' Members of the entire House delegation from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania are cosponsors of this legislation. Mr. Speaker, Pennsylvania State Senator Herbert Arlene ably represented Philadelphia's Third Senatorial District in North Central Philadelphia for 14 years. Senator Arlene was Pennsylvania's first African American elected to the State Senate. Prior to his 1966 election to the Senate, he served in the State House of Representatives from 1958 to 1966. He was a businessman, philanthropist and community activist until his death in 1989 at age 72. Many Philadelphians continue to revere Senator Arlene for his importance to Pennsylvania's history. They also recognize him for his emphasis on constituent services, and for his love of his city and his commonwealth. Mr. Speaker, I urge adoption of H.R. 3738. Mr. Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.

Mrs. JO ANN DAVIS of Virginia. Mr. Speaker, I move to suspend the rules and pass the bill (H.R. 3740) to designate the facility of the United States Postal Service located at 925 Dickinson Street in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, as the ``William V. Cibotti Post Office Building,'' as amended.

Mrs. JO ANN DAVIS of Virginia. Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent that all Members may have 5 legislative days to revise and extend their remarks on the bill under consideration.

Mrs. JO ANN DAVIS of Virginia. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume. Mr. Speaker, H.R. 3740, introduced by the distinguished gentleman from Pennsylvania (Mr. Brady), designates a post office located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania as the William V. Cibotti Post Office Building. Members of the entire House delegation from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania are cosponsors of this legislation. Mr. Speaker, William Cibotti was born in Philadelphia, the son of Italian immigrants. A leader in South Philadelphia's civic life for many years, Mr. Cibotti was chosen by his neighbors to serve as an elected magistrate from 1952 to 1966. In that year he was elected Philadelphia city councilman for the Second District, a position his daughter, Council President Anna Cibotti Verna, continues to hold. Councilman Cibotti received a great many distinctions during his illustrious career, including being named Cavaliere of the Order of the Star of Italian Solidarity, an honor conferred by the government of the Italian Republic. Mr. Speaker, I urge adoption of H.R. 3740, as amended. Mr. Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.

Mrs. JO ANN DAVIS of Virginia. Mr. Speaker, I urge all Members to support this measure, and I yield back the balance of my time.

Mrs. JO ANN DAVIS of Virginia

Mrs. JO ANN DAVIS of Virginia. Mr. Chairman, I move to strike the last word. Mr. Chairman, normally I do not get up and say much about this, but I sit here tonight and I hear all this about Social Security and how we are raiding the trust fund. We are not doing that. We are trying to scare our seniors. The seniors' Social Security money is going to be there. We are not doing anything to take their money away from them. This bill is about a war that is going on. This bill is about helping our military men and women who are out there on the front lines right now, and we are sitting here doing scare tactics, demagoguing. I am not sure what we are doing on this floor tonight. I sit here and listen to all of this, and I do not quite understand it. We are not raiding the Social Security trust fund, we are just trying to help our men and women who are out there fighting for us. I just do not understand why we are sitting here arguing like this about something that is not happening. This is about giving the President and giving our men and women in the military the dollars that they need to fight our war on terrorism. We are not taking dollars away from our seniors, and I think it is shameful, absolutely shameful, that Members are trying to scare them. Amendment Offered by Mr. Hinchey

Mrs. JO ANN DAVIS of Virginia

Mrs. JO ANN DAVIS of Virginia. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in support of the rule and to draw attention to a part of H.R. 4546 that is critical in helping to protect the environment and keeping America's commitment to care for our Nation's reserve fleets, also known as the Ghost Fleet, located in the James River. MARAD is mandated to dispose of all national defense reserve fleet ships by September 30, 2006. The authorization relating to ship disposal and scrapping for the Maritime Administration is of critical importance. I am happy to report that the merchant marine panel, with my strong support, just authorized 20 million to more quickly dispose of surplus vessels that cause serious potential danger to our environment. I would like to see more dollars allocated to this national priority, but after zero dollars in fiscal year 2002, I believe this funding puts us back on track to rid our fleet of these aging ships. Additionally, this measure also allows for financial assistance to environmentally mitigate and reef these same vessels. We must begin to think out of the box to solve this looming problem. Cleaning, then reefing, these ships will create cost savings and will allow us to scrap them more rapidly. We have to work toward the September 30, 2006 deadline and to encourage adequate funding this year to get the job done. Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank our distinguished Committee on Armed Services chairman, the gentleman from Arizona (Mr. Stump), and especially thank the gentleman from California (Mr. Hunter) of the maritime marine panel for his work on this matter. I say thank you, Mr. Speaker. I support the rule and I ask all of my colleagues to support this authorization.

Mrs. JO ANN DAVIS of Virginia

Mrs. JO ANN DAVIS of Virginia. Mr. Chairman, today I rise to support the en bloc amendment containing a Sense of Congress on Aircraft Carrier Force Structure. This amendment would do 2 things. First, it would commend the crews of the aircraft carriers that contributed directly to Operation Enduring Freedom and the homeland defense mission. Many people are aware that our aircraft carriers contributed to our initial actions in Operation Enduring Freedom, but most people are unaware as to the number of carriers and also the incredible effort and number of aircraft carriers it took to effect our initial response to the attack on September 11. Second, this amendment would recognize the full value and worth that our carriers have for America's power and force projection capabilities. There is no doubt that the aircraft carriers have been integral to our war in Afghanistan. We have all heard the story of how the USS Enterprise turned around and went back when the captain heard about what was going on. Every munition and bomb dropped from a carrier air wing has been a precision-guided munition. The carriers worked around the clock after the attacks on September 11. Mr. Chairman, the Sense of Congress expresses a simple truism that is laid out in the Quadrennial Defense Review. The Navy needs, at a minimum, at least 12 aircraft carriers. Mr. Chairman, I would strongly encourage all of my colleagues to vote in support of this en bloc amendment.

Mrs. JO ANN DAVIS of Virginia

Mrs. JO ANN DAVIS of Virginia. Mr. Chairman, I rise today to speak against this amendment to expand abortion services in military hospitals overseas. Let us be clear on what we are really talking about. What this amendment does is to allow the use of hard earned taxpayer dollars to fund abortions in our military overseas hospitals. This violates the strongly held convictions of millions of Americans who do not want their tax dollars going to fund activities that they believe are wrong. The other side will argue that the procedure will be paid for by the woman seeking the abortion. But this clearly ignores the obvious fact that the infrastructure, the medical facilities, the equipment are all paid for with taxpayer dollars. This amendment is fundamentally about how we use our taxpayer dollars, which should not be a controversial issue. The overwhelming majority of taxpayers oppose the use of publicly held Federal dollars for abortion. This amendment has been rejected six times by the same House. Do the right thing today and vote against the passage of this amendment again.

Mrs. JO ANN DAVIS of Virginia

Mrs. JO ANN DAVIS of Virginia. Mr. Speaker, I move to suspend the rules and pass the bill (H.R. 4486) to designate the facility of the United States Postal Service located at 1590 East Joyce Boulevard in Fayetteville, Arkansas, as the ``Clarence B. Craft Post Office Building.''

Mrs. JO ANN DAVIS of Virginia. Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent that all Members may have 5 legislative days within which to revise and extend their remarks on H.R. 4486.

Mrs. JO ANN DAVIS of Virginia. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume. Mr. Speaker, H.R. 4486, introduced by the gentleman from Arkansas (Mr. Boozman) designates the facility of the United States Postal Service located in Fayetteville, Arkansas, as the ``Clarence B. Craft Post Office Building.'' Members of the entire House delegation from the State of Arkansas are cosponsors of this legislation. Mr. Speaker, an American hero passed away on Thursday, March 28, in Fayetteville, Arkansas. Private First Class Clarence Craft received the Congressional Medal of Honor from President Harry Truman for his faithful and courageous service to this country during World War II. He was 80 years old. Mr. Craft went on to become a regular volunteer at the local VA hospital in Fayetteville where he logged more than 9,300 hours helping fellow veterans. He also was a dedicated member of Fayetteville American Legion Post 27 where he was an active member for over 56 years. Though we may honor Private Craft for his storied military career, Mr. Craft preferred to talk about his family whom he so dearly loved. Mr. Craft will be missed by all who knew him; and every American owes a debt of gratitude to him for his valiant service to this country. Mr. Speaker, I urge the adoption of H.R. 4486. Mr. Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.

Mrs. JO ANN DAVIS of Virginia. Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to yield such time as he may consume to the distinguished gentleman from Arkansas (Mr. Boozman), the sponsor of this legislation.

Mrs. JO ANN DAVIS of Virginia. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume. I urge my colleagues to adopt this measure to honor what we have heard today to be a great American hero and a true patriot. Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time.

Mrs. JO ANN DAVIS of Virginia

Mrs. JO ANN DAVIS of Virginia. Mr. Speaker, I thank the chairman for yielding me time. Mr. Speaker, I am very proud of the many historically significant contributions the Commonwealth of Virginia has offered this great Nation. Virginia has given America eight of its distinguished men to the Office of Presidency, three of whom were born in the first district that I represent, and countless other elected officials, military heroes and active citizens to the cause of freedom and democracy. Today, I rise to pay a specific tribute to the Aquia quarries of Government Island in Stafford, Virginia, for their contributions to the construction of our Nation's Capitol building and the White House, among many other prominent structures. As our forefathers struggled to create a nation through a Declaration of Independence and an enduring revolution, they sought to express permanency in their new-found freedom. Led by Virginia native George Washington, America began to plan a city that would dignify the grandeur of the new United States of America. They chose the land situated geographically centered in the new Nation up the Potomac River and to the top of what was known as Jenkin's Hill, a place Pierre Charles L'Enfant, the city's planner called ``a pedestal waiting for a monument.'' I could not agree more. Our Capitol has survived over 200 years, through the War of 1812, the Civil War, and more recently, the building was a suspected target of the recent horrific terrorist attack on our country. This building has grown and matured into the great symbol of America. The freedoms that we hold so dear and recent events have only hardened my deep fondness for our Capitol and what it represents. Although little known, the north section of the north wing of the Capitol and the White House were constructed of Aquia sandstone quarried from Government Island and along the Aquia Creek in Stafford County, Virginia; another proud Virginia contribution. Stafford County's board of supervisors, County Administrator C.M. Williams, county historian Jane Conner, and the county's citizens should be commended for making the preservation of this island a priority. Their good work will ensure that this area is preserved for future generations to explore and enjoy. I ask my colleagues to join me today in support of this resolution to honor the enduring construction of this building, the cornerstone of our democracy, and all that it represents. I would like to thank the entire Virginia delegation for cosponsoring this House resolution commemorating the United States Capitol and the White House, highlighting their humble Virginia beginnings. Additionally, I would like to thank the Committee on Resources chairman, the gentleman from Utah (Mr. Hansen) and the gentleman from West Virginia (Mr. Rahall), the ranking member, and the Subcommittee on National Parks, Recreation and Public Lands for moving this important Virginia initiative. I again encourage my colleagues' support.

Mrs. JO ANN DAVIS of Virginia

Mrs. JO ANN DAVIS of Virginia. Mr. Speaker, we recently observed the 7th-month anniversary of the terrorist attacks that devastated our Nation on September 11, 2001. Today, I would like to continue to remember, recognize and honor our fellow citizens who lost their lives as a result of the terrorist attacks on our Nation. This list of over 3,000 names is comprised of many of the victims of the horrific attacks, including the firefighters and policemen who willingly gave their lives in an attempt to rescue others. This effort will continue until each name on this list has been read on the House floor and entered into the Congressional Record. I urge my colleagues to join me in this important undertaking to show that this House and our Nation honors our fallen brothers and sisters. Lars P. Qualben; Lincoln Quappe; Patrick J.

Again, I ask the families of those that are deceased to excuse me for any mispronunciations of their names. Americans will forever remember September 11, 2001. It was the day that our parents, our children, our friends, and our neighbors were taken from us. It was the day that our heroes died. I thank my colleagues who joined me in this important effort for the last 7 months, and I thank the families and friends of those who perished for their courage. Mr. Speaker, our thoughts will forever be with the families and the loved ones that we lost.
