To designate the facility of the United States Postal Service located at 4 South Main Street in Wallingford, Connecticut, as the "CWO Richard R. Lee Post Office Building".

Madam Speaker, I am pleased to join my colleagues from Connecticut to introduce a bill to designate the facility of the United States Postal Service located at 4 South Main Street in Wallingford, Connecticut, as the ``CWO Richard R. Lee Post Office Building.''

Chief Warrant Officer Richard R. Lee was born July 28, 1954, and grew up in Wallingford, Connecticut, attending local elementary schools in the Yalesville section of town. In his younger years, Rich loved to fish with his friends and his father, Earl. One of his favorite places was the Black Pond in Meriden. Rich attended Lyman Hall High School until 1971 when the growing town built a new high school. Sheehan High opened and his fondness for the water led him to join the swim team. Rich won the Regional Championship for Diving at Sheehan. He played soccer as

well and helped Sheehan High to many victories before graduating with the class of 1972.

Rich also had a love for fast cars and flying, which sent him in the direction of the military. In 1973, he enlisted in the Army, and he eventually achieved the rank ``Chief Warrant Officer''. Rich learned to fly a helicopter in the Army, became ``Civilian Rated''-Instrument Rated and planned to continue flying when he retired.

Sadly, Rich's dream was not to be realized. He was deployed to the Middle East to fight in Operation Desert Storm and paid the ultimate sacrifice for our country on February 7, 1991. His high school classmates, Robert J. Devaney and Debra Frost Markiewicz, first approached me about naming the Wallingford Post Office in Mr. Lee's honor. This tribute to our fallen hero is supported by many public servants in Wallingford including Mayor William Dickinson, Senator Len Fasano, Councilman Robert Parisi, Postmaster Michael Schrader, and Leigh Piscitelli of the Postal Service. The post office lies in Wallingford's parade ground directly across from the town hall and veterans' monuments. To date, there is no monument in Wallingford to remember Richard Lee's sacrifice. His parents, Earl and Helen Lee, who currently reside in North Carolina, would like nothing more than to see this tribute to their son. I hope you will join me and my colleagues from the State of Connecticut in enacting this tribute to Chief Warrant Officer Richard R. Lee.

Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the Senate proceed to the immediate consideration of the following bills en bloc, which were received from the House: H.R. 6197, H.R. 6558, H.R. 6834, H.R. 6902, and H.R. 6982; that the bills be read three times and passed en bloc, the motions to reconsider be laid upon the table en bloc, and any statements related to the bills be printed in the Record.

Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent that the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform be discharged from further consideration of the bill (H.R. 6834) to designate the facility of the United States Postal Service located at 4 South Main Street in Wallingford, Connecticut, as the ``CWO Richard R. Lee Post Office Building,'' and ask for its immediate consideration in the House.
