To designate the facility of the United States Postal Service located at 2050 South Boulevard in Bloomfield Township, Michigan, as the "Dr. Ezra S. Parke Post Office Building".

Madam Speaker, I move to suspend the rules and pass the bill (H.R. 7519) to designate the facility of the United States Postal Service located at 2050 South Boulevard in Bloomfield Township, Michigan, as the ``Dr. Ezra S. Parke Post Office Building''.

Madam 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.

Madam Speaker, I rise today in support of H.R. 7519, to designate the facility of the United States Postal Service located at 2050 South Boulevard in Bloomfield Township, Michigan, as the ``Dr. Ezra S. Parke Post Office Building.''

Dr. Ezra S. Parke was an early resident of Bloomfield Township in 1822.

He quickly became deeply involved in the community, becoming Bloomfield's first postmaster from 1824 to 1836. In this role, he introduced the services of the U.S. Postal Service to the growing community of Bloomfield Township.

While working as postmaster, Dr. Parke also became Bloomfield Township's first clerk and served from 1827 to 1844.

I encourage my colleagues to join me in honoring Dr. Parke by naming a post office in Bloomfield Township, Michigan, after him.

Madam Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from Michigan (Mr. Levin), vice chair of the House Committee on Foreign Affairs' Subcommittee on Asia, the Pacific, Central Asia, and Nonproliferation.

Madam Speaker, I urge passage of H.R. 7519, and I yield back the balance of my time.

Madam Speaker, I thank Chairwoman Maloney for shepherding this bill and for all of her incredible leadership today and over the years.

I rise in support of H.R. 7519, my bill designating the post office at 2050 South Boulevard in Bloomfield Township, Michigan, as the Dr. Ezra S. Parke Post Office Building.

Dr. Parke and his family moved to Bloomfield Township in 1822. Madam Speaker, that was 15 years before Michigan became a State. He was a dedicated public servant who established the first post office in the area and helped lay the foundation for effective local government.

Dr. Parke served as Bloomfield Township's very first postmaster, from 1824 to 1836, and as township clerk from 1827 to 1844. He was widely respected and wore many hats, including husband, father, physician, teacher, and spiritual leader.

I am proud to honor Dr. Ezra Parke, who embodies the role of the U.S. Postal Service in the development of my own township and of our entire Nation and the centrality of the post office in the life of its citizens from before Michigan's founding to this very day.

I thank Bloomfield Township Supervisor Dani Walsh and the Bloomfield Historical Society for collaborating with me to choose Dr. Parke for this much-deserved honor.

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

Madam Speaker, I rise today in support of H.R. 7519, which honors Dr. Ezra S. Parke, the former postmaster of Bloomfield Township, Michigan.

Dr. Parke was an early resident of Bloomfield Township, moving there in 1822, and serving as the area's first local postmaster, from 1824 until 1836. Simultaneously, he served as Bloomfield Township's first clerk, a position he maintained until 1844.

It is fitting that a post office be named for Dr. Parke, a dedicated local public servant. I encourage my colleagues to support this bill.
