I yield myself such time as I may consume. Madam Speaker, S. 400, as amended, designates the United States Department of Transportation headquarters as the William T. Coleman, Jr. and Norman Y. Mineta Federal Building. William Coleman had a long history of public service, including serving as the fourth Secretary of Transportation, as a civil rights leader and, early in his career, by serving the Nation during World War II. Norman Mineta served as chair and ranking member of the Committee on Public Works and Transportation. He was later appointed as the 14th Secretary of Transportation under President George W. Bush and is the longest-serving Secretary of Transportation to date. I think it is fitting to recognize the work and commitment of both Secretaries by naming the DOT headquarters after them. I urge support of the bill, and I reserve the balance of my time. Mr. DeFAZIO. Madam Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.
