Mr. ROUDA. Mr. Speaker, I move to suspend the rules and pass the bill
[[Page H8175]]
(H.R. 3314) to designate the facility of the United States Postal
Service located at 1750 McCulloch Boulevard North in Lake Havasu City,
Arizona, as the ``Lake Havasu City Combat Veterans Memorial Post Office
Building''.
The Clerk read the title of the bill.
The text of the bill is as follows:
H.R. 3314
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of
the United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. LAKE HAVASU CITY COMBAT VETERANS MEMORIAL POST
OFFICE BUILDING.
(a) Designation.--The facility of the United States Postal
Service located at 1750 McCulloch Boulevard North in Lake
Havasu City, Arizona, shall be known and designated as the
``Lake Havasu City Combat Veterans Memorial Post Office
Building''.
(b) References.--Any reference in a law, map, regulation,
document, paper, or other record of the United States to the

The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to the rule, the gentleman from
California (Mr. Rouda) and the gentleman from Arizona (Mr. Gosar) each
will control 20 minutes.
The Chair recognizes the gentleman from California.
General Leave
Mr. ROUDA. 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.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the
gentleman from California?
There was no objection.
Mr. ROUDA. Mr. Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.
Mr. GOSAR. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume.
Mr. Speaker, I rise to support H.R. 3314 introduced by myself. This
bill names a post office as the Lake Havasu City Combat Veterans
Memorial Post Office Building.
The post office will honor six brave men from the city who died
serving their country.
Carey Dean Harmon lost his life bravely fighting the Tet Offensive.
Scott Broadston fought valiantly in Vietnam and lost his life during
a combat assault.
In 2006, Patrick Tinnell was the first from Lake Havasu City to be
killed in action during the global war on terror.
Anthony Sausto lost his life fighting in Baghdad, Iraq, in 2007.
Dylan Reid served in Amarah, Iraq, where he died in 2010. He is
survived by his daughter, Avery.
Finally, Carl Hammar emigrated from Sweden to the United States and
joined the Army while in college. He served two tours in Iraq and one
in Afghanistan, where he died in combat.
Mr. Speaker, in recognition of these men and their selfless service
to this Nation, I urge my colleagues to support this legislation.
Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time.
Mr. ROUDA. Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on the motion offered by the
gentleman from California (Mr. Rouda) that the House suspend the rules
and pass the bill, H.R. 3314.
The question was taken; and (two-thirds being in the affirmative) the
rules were suspended and the bill was passed.
A motion to reconsider was laid on the table.
