“Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume. Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to join my colleagues in consideration of H.R. 3230, to designate the facility of the United States Postal Service located at 915 Center Avenue in Payette, Idaho, as the Harmon Killebrew Post Office Building. A member of the Washington Senators, Minnesota Twins, and Kansas City Royals, Harmon Killebrew excelled in major league baseball for 22 years. During that time, he notched an impressive 2,086 hits, played in 13 All-Star games, and tallied nine seasons with over 100 RBIs. In fact, I can remember as a kid rooting for the Orioles that we didn't want Harmon Killebrew coming up to the plate. Harmon retired in 1975 in fifth place for career home runs. He was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1984. Mr. Speaker, we should pass this bill to honor Harmon Killebrew's accomplishments to the great American pastime. I urge the passage of H.R. 3230, and I reserve the balance of my time.”
