To designate the facility of the United States Postal Service located at 101 South Willowbrook Avenue in Compton, California, as the "PFC James Anderson, Jr., Post Office Building".

Mr. Speaker, I move to suspend the rules and pass the bill (H.R. 1095) to designate the facility of the United States Postal Service located at 101 South Willowbrook Avenue in Compton, California, as the ``PFC James Anderson, Jr., Post Office Building''.

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.

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

Mr. Speaker, I rise today in support of H.R. 1095, a bill to honor private first class James Anderson, Jr.

James Anderson was born on January 22, 1947. After attending Los Angeles Harbor Junior College for a year and a half, he decided to enlist in the U.S. Marines to serve in Vietnam.

Upon graduation from recruit training, he was promoted to private first class and then transferred to Camp Pendleton, California, where he trained with the 2nd Battalion.

In December of 1966, Private Anderson arrived in Vietnam where he served as a rifleman. While on patrol, his platoon was ambushed, and an enemy grenade landed near him and his fellow marines.

Without hesitation, Private Anderson pulled the grenade to his chest and absorbed the majority of the blast with his body, saving the lives of the marines around him. Due to his heroic sacrifice, Private Anderson was the first African-American marine to receive the Medal of Honor.

Mr. Speaker, I encourage my colleagues to join me in honoring James Anderson's bravery by naming the Post Office at 101 South Willowbrook Avenue in Compton, California, as the Private First Class James Anderson, Jr., Post Office Building, and I reserve the balance of my time.

Mr. Speaker, I urge passage of H.R. 1095, and I yield back the balance of my time.

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

Mr. Speaker, I rise in support of H.R. 1095, which names a Compton, California, Post Office for Private First Class James Anderson, Jr.

PFC Anderson grew up in Compton where he attended Centennial High School and later Los Angeles Harbor College. During college, he decided to enlist in the Marine Corps and serve the United States in the Vietnam war.

While deployed, his platoon was ambushed, and an enemy grenade landed near him and his fellow soldiers. Without hesitation, PFC Anderson threw himself on the grenade, sacrificing his own life to save those of his fellow marines. For this action, he was awarded the Medal of Honor.

Mr. Speaker, I strongly encourage my colleagues to support this bill which honors an American war hero, and I yield back the balance of my time.

Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the Senate proceed to the immediate consideration of the following bills en bloc: Calendar No. 473, H.R. 5271; Calendar No. 475, H.R. 5900; Calendar No. 476, H.R. 6386; Calendar No. 516, H.R. 5659; Calendar No. 517, H.R. 1095; and H.R. 5349, H.R. 5650, H.R. 5865, H.R. 5952, H.R. 6042, H.R. 6218, H.R. 6220, H.R. 6221, H.R. 6630, H.R. 7519, H.R. 7638, H.R. 8226, H.R. 8026, and H.R. 7514, all of which were received from the House.
