Mr. Speaker, I appreciate the chance to join in this salute to Norm Shumway as we prepare to name this post office in his honor.

In reviewing his biography, Norm has been a son of San Joaquin, and quite legitimately is. I do note in his biography he was actually born in Phoenix, Arizona, on July 28, 1934. In 1939 his family moved to California and was Norm was educated in the Stockton public school system and graduated from Stockton High School in 1952. He received his A.A. degree from Stockton which is now known as San Joaquin Delta Community College in 1954, and then as the gentleman from Illinois (Mr. Davis) mentioned, Norm began his acquaintanceship with Japan when he served a church mission there from 1954 to 1958.

When he returned from the Orient, Mr. Shumway enrolled at the University of Utah from which institution he received a Bachelor of Science degree in political science in 1960, and then he commenced his legal education and graduated with a Juris Doctorate degree from the University of California's Hastings College of Law in San Francisco in 1963.

Mr. Shumway had been a partner in a Stockton law firm, and then in 1974 a vacancy occurred in the San Joaquin Board of Supervisors, and pursuant to State law at the time, the Governor, Ronald Reagan, appointed Norm to fill that vacancy and he was later elected to the same position and was reelected in 1976, and he served as chairman of the Board of Supervisors in 1978 prior to his election that same year to the United States House of Representatives.

Norm, I think it was mentioned, and his lovely wife Luana are the parents of six children and 30 grandchildren. As has been mentioned before, he has been a very faithful member of the Church Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints and has served in numerous positions; after

leaving here and serving briefly, I think for several years, on the California Public Utilities Commission, he then served as a Mission President in Japan for 3 years. Then he and Luana returned, and I believe it was later on in the year of their return they were asked to go back to Japan again, where they served in the Public Information Office for one of the missions in the church over there; and I think they were there for perhaps another 3 years.

Norm and Luana now serve in Utah as Director of Church Hosting which involves educating distinguished visitors to Utah about the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, its mission and its organization.

Norm is an outstanding person and has a great deal left to contribute, and is actively doing so at this time as he and his wife Luana make their home in Bountiful, Utah, where they are serving the church on this mission. I thank the gentleman for allowing me to share these comments.

Mr. Speaker, I guess I am the only Member in the Chamber who had the privilege of serving with Norm Shumway. I want to express my appreciation to the gentleman from Virginia (Mr. Tom Davis) and the gentleman from Illinois (Mr. Davis) for moving this legislation.

I think probably the greatest testament to the success of Norm Shumway is the fact that it took both the gentleman from California (Mr. Doolittle) and the gentleman from California (Mr. Pombo) to fill his shoes because both represent the area that Norm Shumway was first elected to.

My colleagues have gone through the litany of accomplishments in his great work on his church mission. It has been mentioned that he speaks fluent Japanese, and I believe that is a great talent which he utilized here. At one time, he was the only Member of Congress who spoke Japanese, and I do not know if anyone since he left speaks Japanese but he is very, very thoughtful and very aware of all of the issues as they relate to Japan.

Mr. Speaker, I had the privilege of sitting with Mr. Shumway on the Committee on Banking, and he had an unwavering commitment to free market principles. I always knew that I could follow the lead of my senior colleague on the committee when it came to dealing with issues that related to financial services. He was a very, very principled Member, and I think it is a great tribute for us to name this post office for him.

I had the privilege of campaigning with Norm Shumway on behalf of the election of the gentleman from California (Mr. Pombo), and he still won in spite of the fact that I was campaigning for him. We were at the University of Pacific stadium, had a wonderful evening there, and Norm gave a great speech in support of the gentleman from California (Mr. Pombo) in that effort. Even after having left the Congress, he has maintained a strong commitment to this institution.

I would like to join with my colleagues in extending congratulations and best wishes to his wonderful wife, Luana, and their six children and 30 grandchildren whom we just heard about.

So I again thank the gentleman from Virginia (Chairman Tom Davis) and the gentleman from Illinois (Mr. Davis) for moving this important legislation, and I congratulate the gentleman from California (Mr. Pombo) and the gentleman from California (Mr. Doolittle) for doing a reasonably good job at succeeding Norm Shumway.

Mr. Speaker, I move to suspend the rules and pass the bill (H.R. 1368) to designate the facility of the United States Postal Service located at 7554 Pacific Avenue in Stockton, California, as the ``Norman Shumway Post Office Building,'' as amended.

Mr. Speaker, I yield such time as he may consume to the gentleman from California (Mr. Pombo).

Mr. Speaker, I yield such time as he may consume to the gentleman from California (Mr. Doolittle).

Mr. Speaker, I yield such time as he may consume to the gentleman from California (Mr. Dreier).

(Mr. DREIER asked and was given permission to revise and extend his remarks.)

Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume.

I thank my colleague from California for adding to the legacy of Norm Shumway.

He was known for effectively representing the business community in the House where he rose as ranking member of the Committee on Banking Finance and Urban Affairs' Subcommittee on Economic Stabilization. He was a soft-spoken Member who often communicated to his constituents and the public by writing articles for selected journals, newspapers, and other publications.

He has continued, as has been noted, to altruistically work for public interests even leaving this body, serving on the Public Utilities Commission for the State of California as a commissioner for 4 years. Subsequently, the Governor appointed him to the Narcotic Addict Evaluation Authority where he worked for another year.

He now lives with his wife in Bountiful, Utah, where he valiantly tries to keep tabs on his 30 grandchildren. I know I speak for all Members when I say the House wishes him well.

We honor him today, and I urge all Members to honor him by supporting the passage of H.R. 1368. I thank the gentleman from California (Mr. Pombo) for introducing this important measure. I thank the gentleman from California (Mr. Doolittle) for being here and carrying on his legacy.

Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time.

Mr. Speaker, on that I demand the yeas and nays.

Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume.

Mr. Speaker, as a member of the Committee on Government Reform, I am pleased to join with the gentleman from Virginia (Mr. Tom Davis) in consideration of H.R. 1368, a measure which names the Postal Service facility after former Representative Norm D. Shumway. H.R. 1368, introduced by the gentleman from California (Mr. Pombo) of California on March 19, 2003, enjoys the support and cosponsorship of the entire California congressional delegation.

Representative Norman D. Shumway served in the U.S. House of Representatives from 1978 until his retirement in January 1991. While in Congress, he served on a number of important committees, the Committee on Banking, Finance and Urban Affairs, the Committee on Merchant Marine and Fisheries and the House Select Committee on Aging.

A lifelong student of the customs and culture of the Japanese people, Representative Shumway was one of two Members of Congress who spoke fluent Japanese. As a result of his language skill and position on congressional committees, Norm participated in many seminars and conferences dealing with trade issues and U.S.-Japanese relationships.

Although retired for a number of years, Norm Shumway has remained active in his community, State and church. He is a lifelong member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, and in that capacity, he has served as a missionary, seminary instructor, High Priest Group leader, Bishop, teacher and ward organist. He has served as a commissioner on the California Public Utilities Commission and parole board member of the California Narcotic Addiction Evaluation Authority.

Mr. Speaker, in keeping with the tradition of naming postal facilities after distinguished individuals, I thank our colleague for seeking to honor Norman D. Shumway in this manner, and urge swift passage of H.R. 1368.

Mr. Speaker, I do not believe I have any additional requests for time, and I yield back the balance of my time.
