To designate the facility of the United States Postal Service located at 16605 East Avenue of the Fountains in Fountain Hills, Arizona, as the "Dr. C.T. Wright Post Office Building".

Mr. Speaker, this is one of those--you have already touched on C.T.'s resume. But I get to do something that is a little unique right now. I am not going to give his resume again.

He was my neighbor. He and Mary were my friends.

Have you ever had someone in your life, and they are just sort of an acquaintance, and they just ooze something really unique called love.

C.T. was a big guy, powerful voice. He could sing and the rafters shook. Every time he gave the prayer at a Kiwanis meeting, or a Republican meeting, or something else, I almost felt like I was going to do an altar call. And being Catholic, that is actually a little odd. I thought that would be funnier.

He and his wife did something amazing. They were involved in everything from my school board to the Arizona clemency board.

The fact of the matter is he had a powerful impact on a lot of us who live in an upper income suburb on the side of Scottsdale, Arizona. It is a beautiful place.

I remember sitting down with him and saying, ``Okay, C.T., you are my neighbor. You are my friend. Why are you a Republican?'' In this powerful voice, ``David, son, I am going to be part of that abolitionist party,'' and then he went on to explain his history, his life.

I know often we break down into partisan this, partisan that, but to have someone who didn't look like every other suburban person in this neighborhood, and yet, his intellect, his love, his wife Mary's love-- they became icons in the community because of their intellect, because of their love, and because of their leadership.

It proved so powerful for the community because so often when there was something happening, one of the first things we all did was say: Well, we have to ask Dr. Wright. What does he think? What does he feel? What is his understanding of what is going on?

We lost him a couple of years ago, and the community has mourned and felt a little bit more hollow since. By naming our post office, I am hoping my 7-year-old daughter and my now-10-week-old son will see the plaque and will tell the story, and it will become part of the heritage of my little town, Fountain Hills, Arizona.

Mr. Speaker, I move to suspend the rules and pass the bill (H.R. 5650) to designate the facility of the United States Postal Service located at 16605 East Avenue of the Fountains in Fountain Hills, Arizona, as the ``Dr. C.T. Wright Post Office Building''.

I ask unanimous consent that all Members 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. 5650, to designate the facility of the United States Postal Service located at 16605 East Avenue of the Fountains in Fountain Hills, Arizona, as the ``Dr. C.T. Wright Post Office Building.''

Dr. C.T. Wright was raised in a family of sharecroppers as a native of Social Circle, Georgia. He went on to graduate from Fort Valley University before earning his master of science from Clark Atlanta University and his Ph.D from Boston University.

He was a teacher and administrator, devoting much of his time to education and working for many historically Black colleges and universities, including Morris Brown College and Talladega College. In 1982, he became the president of Cheney University, the first HBCU.

Dr. Wright also focused his efforts on community service, founding the Light of Hope Institute that promotes human rights around the world.

For the last 21 years of his life, he lived in Arizona, serving as a community leader. He was chair of the Arizona Board of Clemency, president of the Fountain Hills Kiwanis Club, and president of the Arizona African Society. In addition, Dr. Wright served as a delegate for the Electoral College and met six Presidents.

I encourage my colleagues to join me in honoring the life of Dr. C.T. Wright by supporting H.R. 5650.

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

Mr. Speaker, I urge passage of H.R. 5650, 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 this bill, which would name an Arizona post office building for Dr. C.T. Wright.

Dr. Wright was a Georgia native and dedicated public servant who devoted his life to education and community service.

He went to school in Georgia, graduating with a bachelor's degree from Fort Valley State University and a master's degree from Clark Atlanta University.

After obtaining his Ph.D from Boston University, he served as a teacher and school administrator. Over the course of his career, he worked for many of the country's historically Black colleges and universities.

He also emphasized the importance of community service and established the Light of Hope Institute, which promotes human rights around the world.

For the last two decades of his life, he moved to Arizona and lived in Fountain Hills, outside of Phoenix. There, he remained involved in the community, serving as the president of the Fountain Hills Kiwanis Club and president of the Arizona African society.

Dr. Wright was a devoted public servant, and I encourage my colleagues to support this bill.

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

Mr. Speaker, I yield 4 minutes to the gentleman from Arizona (Mr. Schweikert).

Mr. Speaker, I support this bill, 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.

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