Mr. GROTHMAN. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume. Mr. Speaker, I rise in support of this bill that would name a post office in Anaheim, California, for Dr. William ``Bill'' Kott. Kott was a World War II veteran who, after the attack on Pearl Harbor, enlisted in the U.S. Army and was deployed in Europe as a sergeant in General George S. Patton's Third Army. He was one of the liberators of the Buchenwald concentration camp, among his other servicemembers. He was awarded two Bronze Star Medals. Following his honorable discharge, Dr. Kott used the GI Bill to earn a dental degree. He became a politically active member of the Republican Party, serving as chairman of the California Republican Assembly of Orange County and on several boards and commissions. In 2018, he had the distinct privilege of connecting with the family of one of the Buchenwald prisoners he had helped to liberate. In support of naming a post office in memory of Dr. Kott, I encourage my colleagues to vote for this fine bill. Mr. Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.
