Mrs. JO ANN DAVIS of Virginia. Mr. Speaker, on that I demand the yeas and nays.

Mrs. JO ANN DAVIS of Virginia. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume. H.R. 2559 has strong bipartisan support. The Office of Personnel Management and long-term care insurers also support it. It will substantially improve the Federal Government's long-term care insurance program, and I urge all Members to support this measure. Mr. Speaker, I yield back 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 in which to revise and extend their remarks on the bill, H.R. 2559.

Mrs. JO ANN DAVIS of Virginia. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume. Mr. Speaker, H.R. 2454, introduced by our distinguished colleague, the gentlewoman from California (Ms. Watson), designates the facility of the United States Postal Service located at 5472 Crenshaw Boulevard in Los Angeles, California as the Congressman Julian C. Dixon Post Office. Members of the entire House delegation from the State of California are co-sponsors of this legislation. Julian C. Dixon served as a Member of Congress representing the Los Angeles, California area. Mr. Dixon served 10 terms in the U.S. House and had just been elected to an 11th term when he passed away in December of last year. Congressman Dixon was a tireless advocate of civil rights and as the highest ranking Democrat on the Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, a highly respected voice on national security issues. He was also a friend of many Members of this House and will be sorely missed. Mr. Speaker, I urge adoption of H.R. 2454, as amended. Mr. Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.

Mrs. JO ANN DAVIS of Virginia. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself 30 seconds. Mr. Speaker, I urge all of my colleagues to support H.R. 2454. I did not have the opportunity to know Mr. Dixon, but he sounds like a great man and I urge all of my colleagues to support this measure.

Mrs. JO ANN DAVIS of Virginia. Mr. Speaker, I move to suspend the rules and pass the bill (H.R. 2454) to redesignate the facility of the United States Postal Service located at 5472 Crenshaw Boulevard in Los Angeles, California, as the ``Congressman Julian C. Dixon 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 within which to revise and extend their remarks on the bill, H.R. 2454.

Mrs. JO ANN DAVIS of Virginia. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume. Mr. Speaker, H.R. 2261, introduced by our distinguished colleague, the gentlewoman from Georgia (Ms. McKinney) designates the facility of the United States Postal Service located at 2853 Candler Road in Decatur, Georgia, as the Earl T. Shinhoster Post Office Building. Members of the entire House delegation from the State of Georgia are original cosponsors of this legislation. Earl Shinhoster was a dedicated community servant, both locally and globally. His efforts to observe and monitor elections in Africa helped to promote democracy and freedom, while his service as a Georgia State coordinator of voter education and his many roles with the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People helped strengthen domestic civil liberties, voting rights, and equality. His persistence to forward our Nation's values will be missed, and this post office designation is a fitting tribute to his memory. Mr. Speaker, I urge adoption of H.R. 2261, and 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 H.R. 2261.

Mrs. JO ANN DAVIS of Virginia. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume. Mr. Speaker, I rise in strong support of H.R. 2876. This legislation, introduced by our distinguished colleague, the gentleman from Montana (Mr. Rehberg), designates the facility of the United States Postal Service located at 216 2nd Street, Southwest, in Harlem, Montana, as the Francis Bardanouve Post Office Building. Francis Bardanouve was a Montana State Representative from 1958 to 1994. He chaired the powerful House Committee on Appropriations for nearly 2 decades. His integrity and respect from his colleagues transcended party lines. He was a longtime farmer-rancher in Blaine County, Montana.
