To designate the facility of the United States Postal Service located at 26 East Genesee Street in Baldwinsville, New York, as the "Corporal Kyle Schneider Post Office Building".

Mr. Speaker, I move to suspend the rules and pass the bill (H.R. 5837) to designate the facility of the United States Postal Service located at 26 East Genesee Street in Baldwinsville, New York, as the ``Corporal Kyle Schneider Post Office Building''.

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

General Leave

I ask unanimous consent that all Members may have 5 legislative days within which to revise and extend their remarks and include extraneous material on the bill under consideration.

Mr. Speaker, my bill, H.R. 5837, would designate the facility of the United States Postal Service located at 26 East Genesee Street in Baldwinsville, New York, as the Corporal Kyle Schneider Post Office Building. This bill is cosponsored by the entire New York delegation and was favorably reported by the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform on June 27.

Kyle R. Schneider was born on January 8, 1988, to Richard and Lorie Schneider. He was raised in the Baldwinsville, New York, area with his brother, Kevin. Kyle was a graduate of Baker High School in Baldwinsville, and attended Onondaga Community College for 1 year in the criminal justice program.

While at Baker High School, he played football, baseball, and ran track. Kyle loved the outdoors and was an avid hunter and fisherman.

In March of 2008, Kyle joined the United States Marine Corps and graduated from boot camp in June of 2008. He attended the School of Infantry in July and graduated in September. From September to October, he attended the Marine Corps Security Forces Training. In October of 2008 he was with the Guard Company Marine Barracks in Washington, D.C. In May 2010, he was transferred to Echo Company, 2nd Battalion, 8th Marine Regiment, II Marine Expeditionary Force. In January of 2011, Kyle was assigned to the 3rd Platoon and was deployed to Afghanistan in support of Operation Enduring Freedom.

In defense of our Nation, Kyle was killed in Helmand Province, Afghanistan, on June 30, 2011, by an improvised

explosive device. Corporal Kyle R. Schneider was 23 years old.

Corporal Schneider is an American hero. He was a proud and valiant marine. He was also a son, a brother, a grandson, a fiance, a friend, and a comrade. Kyle is greatly missed, and no words will diminish the grief of those who knew and loved him. In his death, he has earned the thanks of a grateful Nation.

Mr. Speaker, let us honor the service and sacrifice of Corporal Kyle R. Schneider through the passage of this legislation to designate the Baldwinsville Post Office in his honor. I urge my colleagues to join me in strong support of this bill.

I reserve the balance of my time.

I yield back the balance of my time.

Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee be discharged from the following postal naming bills en bloc and that the Senate proceed to their consideration en bloc: H.R. 3477, H.R. 3870, H.R. 3912, H.R. 5738, H.R. 5837, H.R. 5954, S. 3630, and S. 3662.

I ask unanimous consent that the bills be read a third time and passed en bloc, the motions to reconsider be laid upon the table en bloc, with no intervening action or debate, and that any related statements be printed in the Record.

I yield myself such time as I may consume.

I am pleased to join my colleague from New York (Ms. Buerkle) in supporting H.R. 5837, a bill to designate the facility of the United States Postal Service located at 26 East Genesee Street in Baldwinsville, New York, as the Corporal Kyle Schneider Post Office Building.

The dedication to his country, his sacrifice, his bravery are certainly worthy of this honor, and I urge all of my colleagues to support this bill.

I yield back the balance of my time.
