“I rise in support of H.R. 3379, a bill to designate the Bloomington, Indiana, post office in honor of the late Congressman Frank McCloskey. Indiana has lost one of its more dedicated and valued public servants. Frank McCloskey, his sincerity, his compassion for people not only here in America but around the world, was very profound. I served with him on the Committee on Armed Services when I was a new Member here, and he was very informative because in the 1993 time period he was very eager to teach a new President at that time about the plights in Bosnia, at a time where our country wanted to turn more inward, and he wanted to focus us more outward. As I look back on that, a lot of things that Frank spoke of came to pass, and for that reason, for his public service, not only as the mayor of Bloomington but also what he helped do for our country in a very difficult time in the world, this is an honor fitting of the gentleman, and for that, I urge my colleagues to join me in support of this bill.”
