To designate the facility of the United States Postal Service located at 15 South Main Street in Sharon, Massachusetts, as the "Michael C. Rothberg Post Office".

Madam Speaker, I move to suspend the rules and pass the bill (H.R. 5099) to designate the facility of the United States Postal Service located at 15 South Main Street in Sharon, Massachusetts, as the ``Michael C. Rothberg Post Office''.

Madam Speaker, I ask unanimous consent that all Members may have 5 legislative days in which to revise and extend their remarks.

Madam Speaker, I now yield myself such time as I may consume.

On behalf of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, I rise in support of H.R. 5099. This measure designates the United States postal building located at 15 South Main Street in Sharon, Massachusetts, as the Michael C. Rothberg Post Office Building.

Michael Rothberg was a victim of the September 11 terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center in New York City, New York. He worked for Cantor Fitzgerald as a director of program trading. Described by those who knew him as analytical and independent, he had a knack for the high technology used in bond trading, yet he was still able to clearly explain complicated concepts to his clients. Michael liked to be the leader of a team. He enjoyed the autonomy and the freedom to make one's own decisions. He even encouraged his subordinates--``his colleagues,'' as he called them--to have similar aspirations.

Michael Rothberg was a member of the Sharon High School class of 1980 and a graduate of McGill University. He was a very active supporter of the Dana-Farber Institute's Jimmy Fund, the Multiple Sclerosis Foundation, and Mutual Funds Against Cancer.

He is survived by his parents, Iris and Jay Rothberg, as well as his sister, Rhonda.

The Michael C. Rothberg Memorial Scholarship fund was set up for students from Sharon High School. The Michael C. Rothberg Memorial Race is also held every year in Michael's honor.

H.R. 5099 was introduced by our colleague, the gentleman from Massachusetts (Mr. Frank) on April 21, 2010. The measure was referred to the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, which ordered it reported by unanimous consent on May 6, 2010.

The measure has the support of the entire New York House delegation. I thank the gentleman from Massachusetts for introducing this measure. I also would like to thank Chairman Towns and Ranking Member Issa for their support for the bill. I urge my colleagues to support this measure.

I reserve the balance of my time.

Madam Speaker, I urge my colleagues to join me in support of this measure, and I yield back the balance of my time.

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

Madam Speaker, I appreciate the prompt action of the committee in processing this bill. Michael Rothberg was one of the talented young Americans who was one of the victims of the mass murder by bloodthirsty terrorists on September 11th. Mr. Rothberg was one of those killed by these vicious thugs in their attack on the World Trade Center.

Understandably, his family, who is proud of him and of the high regard he was held in the town in which he had lived, asked that I act to have the town's post office named for him. It was a request that was enthusiastically supported by the government of the town, not surprisingly, because it is a community that takes its civic responsibilities seriously and elects and appoints people to town offices who are thoughtful, compassionate, and effective.

Mr. Rothberg was born in Sharon and graduated from Sharon High School. He then went on to earn his Bachelors and Masters degrees in math and computer science from McGill University in Montreal. He went to work for Kanter Fitzgerald whose offices were on the 104th floor of the World Trade Center, and on September 11th, he was tragically killed in his office.

Michael Rothberg was both a very successful professional and a man of great generosity, and while he was working in New York, he remembered his Massachusetts roots in his generous support of important medically- related charities, for example the Dana Farber Cancer Institute's Jimmy Fund. He was also a strong supporter of the Multiple Sclerosis Foundation and Mutual Funds against Cancer.

His family has established the Michael C. Rothberg Memorial Scholarship, and his fellow Sharonites have generously contributed to it in his memory in a number of ways.

Madam Speaker, I appreciate the chance to join Michael Rothberg's family and the town of Sharon in memorializing an able, generous man who is sorely missed, and we all take this occasion of course to reaffirm our resolve to do everything that we can to protect all of us against a repeat of this tragedy.

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

Madam Speaker, I rise today in support of H.R. 5099 designating the facility of the United States Postal Service located at 15 South Main Street in Sharon, Massachusetts, as the Michael C. Rothberg Post Office.

A native of Sharon, Massachusetts, Michael graduated from Sharon High School and went on to receive his bachelor's and master's degrees from McGill University.

His family and friends described him as kind, generous and selfless. It was Michael who encouraged and financed his sister, Rhonda, to start her own business. Michael was known to work hard, excelling in his position on Wall Street, rising to the 104th floor of the World Trade Center, where he worked for Cantor Fitzgerald. He made friends with many of the clients and associates he worked with, helping them both in and out of the office.

His mother Iris tells of a time a friend found out she had cancer, and Michael immediately went to his staff and raised money for the Jimmy Fund. She also tells of a time a client needed surgery, and Michael sent a car for her and waited during the procedure to take her home.

On September 11, 2001, the United States was attacked by radical Islamic jihadists, those against what America considers good and just. Behind the devastating number of deaths were the individuals, each having family and friends they left behind. One of these victims was Michael C. Rothberg. He was 39 years old.

To honor Michael's dedication to his community, The Michael C. Rothberg September 11th Memorial Scholarship was organized by former classmates, friends, and family. The scholarship is awarded to students at Sharon High School who show qualities of academic integrity, ethical commitment, and service to the community.

Today we honor Michael, whose short life was dedicated selflessly to his friends and family. To celebrate and preserve his legacy, I ask all Members to join in supporting H.R. 5099.

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