Mrs. CAROLYN B. MALONEY of New York. Mr. Speaker, I move to suspend the rules and pass the bill (H.R. 2473) to designate the facility of the United States Postal Service located at 275 Penn Avenue in Salem, Ohio, as the ``Howard Arthur Tibbs Post Office''.

Mrs. CAROLYN B. MALONEY of New York. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in support of H.R. 2473 to designate the facility of the United States Postal Service located at 275 Penn Avenue in Salem, Ohio, as the Howard Arthur Tibbs Post Office. Corporal Howard Arthur Tibbs was born on September 23, 1919, in Salem, Ohio. His family had a long history of military service, dating back to the Civil War, when Mr. Charles Howard, Sr., grandfather of Corporal Tibbs, fought in the Grand Army of the Republic. Following this tradition of service, in World War II, Corporal Tibbs served as one of the Tuskegee Airmen, where he served in the 99th Fighter Squadron and the 477th Medium Composite Group. In recognition of his military contributions and bravery, Corporal Tibbs was awarded the Congressional Gold Medal in 2007. After his time in the military, Corporal Tibbs continued his career in private service with a career at the Internal Revenue Service. On January 26, 1986, he passed away in Newark, Ohio. I encourage my colleagues to join me in honoring the bravery of Corporal Howard Tibbs by naming a post office in Salem, Ohio, after him. Mr. Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.

Mrs. CAROLYN B. MALONEY of New York. Mr. Speaker, I am prepared to close, and I reserve the balance of my time.

Mrs. CAROLYN B. MALONEY of New York. Mr. Speaker, I move to suspend the rules and pass the bill (H.R. 6917) to designate the facility of the United States Postal Service located at 301 East Congress Parkway in Crystal Lake, Illinois, as the ``Ryan J. Cummings Post Office Building''.

Mrs. CAROLYN B. MALONEY of New York. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in support of H.R. 6917, to designate the facility of the United States Postal Service located at 301 East Congress Parkway in Crystal Lake, Illinois, as the Ryan J. Cummings Post Office Building. Marine Corporal Ryan John Cummings was born on April 6, 1984, and grew up to be a Cub Scout, honor student, wrestler, and a French horn player. On September 10, 2001, he enlisted in the U.S. Marine Corps and completed basic training in San Diego. He was then stationed at Camp Pendleton, California, in 1st Battalion, 1st Marine Division, ultimately earning the rank of corporal. Corporal Cummings earned many awards, including the Marine Corps Good Conduct Medal, the Global War on Terror Service Medal, the National Defense Service Medal, the Humanitarian Service Medal, the Iraq Campaign Medal, and the Purple Heart, among others. He was deployed three times in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom. He made the ultimate sacrifice on June 3, 2006, when he was killed. Mr. Speaker, I encourage my colleagues to join me in honoring the life and service of Corporal Cummings by naming a post office in Crystal Lake, Illinois, after him, and I reserve the balance of my time.

Mr. Speaker, I rise today in support of H.R. 7518 to designate the facility of the United States Postal Service located at 23200 John R Road in Hazel Park, Michigan, as the Roy E.

Mrs. CAROLYN B. MALONEY of New York. Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent that all Members may have 5 legislative days in which to revise and extend their remarks and include extraneous material on this measure.

Mrs. CAROLYN B. MALONEY of New York. Mr. Speaker, I move to suspend the rules and pass the bill (H.R. 3826) to designate the facility of the United States Postal Service located at 1304 4th Avenue in Canyon, Texas, as the ``Gary James Fletcher Post Office Building''.

Mrs. CAROLYN B. MALONEY of New York. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume.

Mrs. CAROLYN B. MALONEY of New York. Mr. Speaker, I move to suspend the rules and pass the bill (S. 3884) to designate the facility of the United States Postal Service located at 404 U.S. Highway 41 North in Baraga, Michigan, as the ``Cora Reynolds Anderson Post Office''.

Mrs. CAROLYN B. MALONEY of New York. Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent that all Members may have 5 legislative days in which to revise and extend their remarks and include extraneous material on this measure.

Mrs. CAROLYN B. MALONEY of New York. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in support of S. 3884, a bill to designate the facility of the United States Postal Service located at 404 U.S. Highway 41 North in Baraga, Michigan, as the Cora Reynolds Anderson Post Office. Ms. Cora Reynolds Anderson was born in L'Anse, Michigan, on April 10, 1882, and was a member of the Ojibwa Native American Tribe. She attended public school in the Upper Peninsula and the Haskell Institute in Lawrence, Kansas, where she received her teacher's diploma. After graduating, she came back and taught at the Zeba Mission in the Upper Peninsula. Ms. Anderson organized the first public health service in Baraga County, Michigan, and helped secure their first public health nurse. In 1924, she became the first woman elected to the Michigan House of Representatives and the first Native American woman elected to serve in a State legislature. Her election came only 4 years after women were granted the right to vote. During her term in office, Ms. Anderson chaired the Industrial Home for Girls Committee and was on multiple committees, including Agriculture, Insurance, and the Northern State Normal School. She was an advocate for public health, primarily focused on fighting against alcoholism and tuberculosis. She also fought to recognize Native American fishing rights on Huron Bay. After her tenure as a representative, Ms. Anderson served as an officer for the Upper Peninsula in the Michigan State Grange. In 2000, the Michigan House of Representatives named the new house office building in Lansing in her honor. She was also inducted into the Michigan Women's Hall of Fame in 2001. Mr. Speaker, I encourage my colleagues to join me in honoring Ms. Anderson by naming a post office in Baraga, Michigan, after her, and I reserve the balance of my time.

Mrs. CAROLYN B. MALONEY of New York. Madam Speaker, I rise to recognize Ms. Magazine for its work to provide comprehensive coverage of women's issues and to celebrate the magazine's fiftieth anniversary. When feminist activists Gloria Steinem and Dorothy Pittman Hughes started Ms. Magazine in December 1971 with a 40-page insert inside New York magazine, few could have predicted its longevity and its far- reaching impact. But the magazine immediately struck a chord with women, selling 300,000 copies in eight days and generating 26,000 subscription orders and more than 20,000 reader letters within weeks. While most magazines marketed to women at the time emphasized domestic topics such as the importance of finding a husband, Ms. Magazine featured stories on prominent women's issues including abortion, the Equal Rights Amendment, domestic violence, and sexual harassment. In July 1972, the first issue of Ms. Magazine was published with an image of Wonder Woman on the cover. In the same issue, 53 women, including Billie Jean King, Nora Ephron, and Gloria Steinem, signed a ``we have had abortions petition,'' one year before the Supreme Court's landmark decision in Roe v. Wade. In the years following, Ms. Magazine has covered and influenced the feminist movement. On a personal note, the magazine also profoundly impacted my career aspirations and legislative agenda in both the New York City Council and in Congress. Over the course of my career, I didn't have to call Ms. five times to convince them to cover issues and legislation like the Debbie Smith Act, the horrific crime of sex trafficking, and the Equal Rights Amendment. Ms. also faithfully chronicled my 20-year fight to create the National Women's History Museum on the Mall. Without Ms.' coverage and advocacy, we might still be fighting. Women comprise half the population. But we get nowhere near half the attention on critical issues. Most other magazines and new outlets swoop in to cover monumental women's issues like the rollback of Roe. v. Wade. But Ms. is there every day to cover issues of importance to women and to shine the light on women's often-hidden contributions to all fields. Today, the Feminist Majority--the magazine's longest-serving publisher--is proudly maintaining Ms.'s 50-year leadership role in shaping and meeting the feminist agenda. I join millions of women worldwide in recognizing the extraordinary accomplishments and contributions of Ms. Magazine over the past 50 years, and in wishing them every success in the next 50. Because Ms. isn't just a magazine. It's a movement.

Mrs. CAROLYN B. MALONEY of New York. Madam Speaker, I rise to recognize The Tuchman Foundation for its incredible leadership in creating and donating a temporary medical care unit to Astoria Houses for COVID-19 vaccinations and tests. Founded by Tuchman Group CEO Martin Tuchman, The Tuchman Foundation has used its platform and capital to support research on health care, including diseases and cures such as Parkinson's Disease. The Tuchman Foundation also provided initial funding to develop the prototype for the temporary medical care unit, which was fashioned through a partnership with the New Jersey Institute of Technology and the University Hospital in Newark in July 2020. Through this collaboration, temporary medical care facilities were developed to be placed in areas with COVID-19 outbreaks and other disasters as well as regions without adequate health care infrastructure. The containers are 32 by 40 feet long and were made from recycled shipping containers. When I heard about this incredible creation, I reached out to see if we could work together to bring one of these units to Astoria Houses in New York's Twelfth Congressional District, which I have the privilege to represent. At the time, there were no vaccination sites within half a mile of Astoria Houses, and of the vaccination sites within a mile of Astoria Houses, none of them had vaccines in stock. With limited public transportation options to reach the existing vaccination sites, residents were forced to walk, which was not a practical option for many of the senior residents, who account for a large percentage of the development population. But The Tuchman Foundation was here to fund and provide this incredibly innovative temporary medical care unit, which has been in place at Astoria Houses to provide COVID-19 tests and vaccines since April 2022. Health care is and should always be a human right, and The Tuchman Foundation helped to make that a reality for so many New Yorkers by creating and providing this health care unit to the people of Astoria Houses. Madam Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in recognizing the amazing work being done by The Tuchman Foundation and look forward to seeing the work they do next.

Mrs. CAROLYN B. MALONEY of New York. Madam Speaker, I rise to recognize the New Jersey Institute of Technology for its incredible work, expertise, and assistance in creating and transporting a temporary medical care unit to Astoria Houses for COVID-19 vaccinations and tests. The New Jersey Institute of Technology has always been a hub for innovation, and this was made even more clear during the COVID-19 pandemic. In July 2020, the New Jersey Institute of Technology, the University Hospital in Newark, and The Tuchman Foundation collaborated to develop temporary medical care facilities to be placed in areas with COVID-19 outbreaks and other disasters as well as regions without adequate health care infrastructure. These containers are 32 by 40 feet long and were made from recycled shipping containers. When I heard about this incredible creation, I reached out to see if we could work together to bring one of these units to Astoria Houses in New York's Twelfth Congressional District, which I have the privilege to represent. At the time, there were no vaccination sites within half a mile of Astoria Houses, and of the vaccination sites within a mile of Astoria Houses, none of them had vaccines in stock. With limited public transportation options to reach the existing vaccination sites, residents were forced to walk, which was not a practical option for many of the senior residents, who account for a large percentage of the development population. But the New Jersey Institute of Technology came to the rescue and agreed to donate one of their units. Donating the unit was one thing but getting it from New Jersey to New York City was another whole process, and the New Jersey Institute of Technology was instrumental in coordinating logistics, including a truck and a crane. Health care is and should always be a human right, and the New Jersey Institute Technology helped to make that a reality for so many New Yorkers by creating and providing this health care unit to the people of Astoria Houses. Madam Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in recognizing the amazing work being done by the New Jersey Institute of Technology and look forward to seeing what inventive projects they come up with next.
