To designate the facility of the United States Postal Service located at 4110 Bluebonnet Drive in Stafford, Texas, as the "Leonard Scarcella Post Office Building".

Mr. Speaker, I move to suspend the rules and pass the bill (H.R. 5865) to designate the facility of

the United States Postal Service located at 4110 Bluebonnet Drive in Stafford, Texas, as the ``Leonard Scarcella 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 H.R. 5865.

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

Mr. Speaker, I rise today in support of H.R. 5865 to designate the facility of the United States Postal Service located at 4110 Bluebonnet Drive in Stafford, Texas, as the Leonard Scarcella Post Office Building.

Mayor Leonard Scarcella was a lifelong resident of Stafford. He graduated from Texas A&M University with a B.B.A. in accounting in 1962. He then went on to attend the University of Houston Law School and was admitted to the State Bar of Texas in 1967.

From 1963 to 1969, Mayor Scarcella served in the Texas National Guard with Active Duty in the United States Air Force, where he attained the rank of sergeant.

He was first elected as mayor of the city of Stafford in 1969 and was the longest continuous-serving mayor in the United States.

During his tenure as mayor, he fought for 6 years to create and implement the Stafford Municipal School District, the only breakaway school district in the Nation to gain the approval of the Federal courts and the only municipal school district within the State of Texas.

In addition, Mayor Scarcella initiated the Stafford Municipal Educational Television Station to bring vital, current, and informative programming about the city to citizens and businesses via cable and internet video streaming.

As well as serving as mayor, he held various positions, such as president of the board of directors of the Fort Bend County Industrial Development Corporation, chair of the Home Rule Charter Commission, and president of the Stafford Economic Development Corporation.

Mr. Speaker, I encourage my colleagues to join me in honoring the accomplishments of Mayor Scarcella by supporting H.R. 5865, and I reserve the balance of my time.

Mr. Speaker, I urge passage of H.R. 5865, 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 honors Mayor Leonard Scarcella.

In 1969, Mayor Scarcella was first elected as the mayor of Stafford, Texas, a suburb of Houston. He continued to serve as mayor until his death in 2020, making him the longest continuous-serving mayor in the United States.

During his time as mayor, he helped the town develop a strong economy. Specifically, in 1995, he worked to eliminate the city property tax for all taxpayers and eliminated the town's general obligation debt in 2014. Mayor Scarcella was a true public servant.

Mr. Speaker, 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.

Mr. Speaker, pursuant to section 11 of House Resolution 1339, I move to suspend the rules and pass the bills: H.R. 1468, S. 4205, H.R. 7939, H.R. 7846, H.R. 7735, H.R. 5916, H.R. 8260, and H.R. 5865.
