To designate the facility of the United States Postal Service located at 3500 West 6th Street, Suite 103 in Los Angeles, California, as the "Dosan Ahn Chang Ho Post Office".

Madam Speaker, I thank the ranking member for yielding, and I thank both the chairman and the ranking member for their support in finding a path to get this bill to the floor.

I am honored to represent L.A.'s Koreatown, home of the largest Korean-American community in any congressional district in our country.

This legislation not only honors one of the first Korean-American immigrants in the United States and a key figure in the Korean independence movement, Dosan Ahn Chang Ho, it celebrates every Korean American who makes our country what it is today.

Ahn Chang Ho, also known by his pen name, Dosan, was a pivotal early leader in the Korean-American community, immigrating to the United States with his wife as the first married couple from Korea to do so; founding early Korean-American community groups; and laying the groundwork for the last 121 years of Korean-American contributions.

Dosan was also a celebrated Korean independence activist, who helped author the South Korean national anthem, advocated for social reform, served as a leader of the provisional government, and played a key role in the opposition of the Japanese occupation of Korea.

He was the father of trailblazing Korean-American actors: Philip Ahn, Philson Ahn, and Ralph Ahn; and his daughter, Susan Ahn Cuddy, was the first Asian-American woman to join the U.S. Navy, and she was an important leader in the post-World War II national security community.

Dosan was a pioneer in American history, and his story deserves to be told.

The post office in the heart of Koreatown where he rose to become one of first leaders of the Korean-American community and where he founded the first Korean organization in the continental United States will ensure this important piece of history is shared with generations to come.

The Korean-American story is the American story, and we must ensure this community receives the recognition and support they deserve.

I am proud this measure to name our post office after Dosan Ahn Chang Ho is on the floor of the House today, and I look forward to the day when this redesignation is officially signed into law by the President.

Madam Speaker, I move to suspend the rules and pass the bill (H.R. 599) to designate the facility of the United States Postal Service located at 3500 West 6th Street, Suite 103 in Los Angeles, California, as the ``Dosan Ahn Chang Ho Post Office'', as amended.

Madam 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 this measure.

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

Madam Speaker, I rise in support of H.R. 599.

In 2004, Congress unanimously voted to designate a post office in Los Angeles as the Dosan Ahn Chang Ho Post Office.

Ahn Chang Ho and his wife immigrated to the United States as the first married couple from Korea, founding early Korean-American community groups and becoming a pivotal leader in the Korean-American community.

In 2022, the lease on the post office named for Ahn Chang Ho expired, and the Postal Service moved the post office to a new location.

This bill updates the current law passed in 2004 by transferring the Dosan Ahn Chang Ho name to the new post office building.

Madam Speaker, I encourage my colleagues to support this bill honoring this historical figure, and I reserve the balance of my time.

Madam Speaker, I have no further speakers, I am prepared to close, and I reserve the balance of my time.

Madam Speaker, I urge my colleagues to support this bipartisan bill, and I yield back the balance of my time.

Madam Speaker, I object to the vote on the ground that a quorum is not present and make the point of order that a quorum is not present.

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

I rise in strong support of H.R. 599 to designate the facility of the U.S. Postal Service located at 3500 West 6th Street, Suite 103 in Los Angeles, California, as the Dosan Ahn Chang Ho Post Office.

This legislation introduced by my colleague, the distinguished Representative Jimmy Gomez of California, would designate a post office after the Korean-American leader, Dosan Ahn Chang Ho. A Korean independence activist who immigrated to the United States, he became an early leader in the Korean-American immigrant community. He opposed the Japanese occupation of Korea and later served as a founding member of the Korean Provisional Government.

Madam Speaker, I yield such time as he may consume to the distinguished gentleman from California (Mr. Gomez).

Madam Speaker, in closing, I would encourage all of my colleagues to join us in honoring the life of Mr. Ho by naming a post office in Los Angeles after him.

Madam Speaker, I urge passage of H.R. 599, and I yield back the balance of my time.

Mr. President, as if in legislative session and notwithstanding rule XXII, I ask unanimous consent that the Senate proceed to the immediate consideration of the following bills, en bloc: Calendar No. 451, S. 2546; Calendar No. 452, S. 3946; Calendar No. 453, S. 4077; Calendar No. 454, H.R. 599; Calendar No. 455, H.R. 1060; Calendar No. 456, H.R. 1098; Calendar No. 458, H.R. 3608; Calendar No. 459, H.R. 3728; Calendar No. 460, H.R. 5476; Calendar No. 461, H.R. 5640; Calendar No. 462, H.R. 5712; Calendar No. 463, H.R. 5985; Calendar No. 464, H.R. 6073; Calendar No. 465, H.R. 6651; Calendar No. 466, H.R. 7192; Calendar No. 467, H.R. 7199; and Calendar No. 468, H.R. 7423.

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 the table, all en bloc.
