To designate the facility of the United States Postal Service located at 223 West Chalan Santo Papa in Hagatna, Guam, as the "Atanasio Taitano Perez Post Office".

Mr. Speaker, I move to suspend the rules and pass the bill (H.R. 3539) to designate the facility of the United States Postal Service located at 223 West Chalan Santo Papa in Hagatna, Guam, as the ``Atanasio Taitano Perez Post Office''.

Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent that all Members have 5 legislative days in which to revise and extend their remarks and include extraneous material on the measure.

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

Mr. Speaker, I rise today in support of H.R. 3539, to designate the facility of the United States Postal Service located at 223 West Chalan Santo Papa in Hagatna, Guam, as the Atanasio Taitano Perez Post Office.

Mr. Atanasio Taitano Perez was a life-long public servant to Guam and the United States.

Over the course of his 36-year career he not only served as the first postmaster of Guam, but also served in the Guam judicial system serving as chief clerk, and later associate justice in the Guam High Court of Equity.

Mr. Perez was also involved in petitioning Congress to establish Guam's permanent civilian government, which its citizens enjoy today.

Unfortunately, he did not live long enough to see his efforts through, as he passed away on April 23, 1950. President Truman signed the Guam Organic Act into law 3 months later on August 1, 1950.

To this day, Mr. Perez is revered for his efforts not only in civil service, but also for advocacy on behalf of the Chamorro and Guamanian people of Guam.

Mr. Speaker, I encourage all of my colleagues to join me in honoring Mr. Perez' legacy by naming the post office at 223 West Chalan Santo Papa as the Atanasio Taitano Perez Post Office.

Mr. Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.

Mr. Speaker, I urge passage of H.R. 3539, 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. 327, S. 3884; Calendar No. 331, H.R. 3539; Calendar No. 335, H.R. 5577; Calendar No. 398, H.R. 2142; Calendar No. 469, H.R. 91; Calendar No. 470, H.R. 92; Calendar No. 472, H.R. 3508; and Calendar No. 474, H.R. 5809.

I ask unanimous consent that the bills, en bloc, be considered read a third time and passed and that the motions to reconsider be considered made and laid upon table, all en bloc.

PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.

The bills were considered and passed, en bloc, as follows:

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

Mr. Speaker, I rise in support of H.R. 3539, which would name a post office in Guam for Atanasio Taitano Perez.

It is fitting that this post office would be named for Perez, who was appointed as the first postmaster of Guam in 1901. In addition to his extensive government service, Perez was personally involved in the movement that petitioned Congress for U.S. citizenship for the people of Guam.

Mr. Speaker, I support this bill and I yield back the balance of my time.

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