H.R. 3877 would designate the Post Office building in Camden, AR, as the David H. Pryor Post Office Building. The bill is intended to recognize Senator Pryor's distinguished career in public service, as an Arkansas State representative for 6 years, Representative of the United States House of Representatives representing the Fourth District of Arkansas for 6 years, the governor of Arkansas for 4 years, and United States Senator for 18 years. This bill is a fitting tribute to Senator Pryor upon his retirement because he was born and raised in Camden, AR, where the post office will be, because the city of Camden requested this honor to be granted to Senator Pryor in recognition of his long service to the County of Ouachita, the State of Arkansas, and the United States, because he is the ranking minority member and the past chairman of the Senate Post Office and Civil Service Subcommittee is another reason; because he has worked tirelessly against overzealous IRS agents and enforcement methods and for the passage of a taxpayer Bill of Rights which he achieved in 1988; and because Senator Pryor has honorably served his community, his State and his country as an elected public official for more than three decades.
