“Before I start on the content of this legislation, I thank the gentlewoman from Colorado (Ms. Boebert), the sponsor of this legislation.

This bill fixes that, as well. Again, I thank the gentlewoman from Colorado (Ms. Boebert), Mr. Raskin, and Chairman Comer for working together. I thank them for fixing these issues. Mr. Speaker, I will say it again: Post offices should be able to do this on their own. I hate that we have to spend time in Congress doing this.…”
