“Mr. Speaker, as the sponsor of H.R. 3834 to redesignate the Dunning Post Office at 6441 West Irving Park Road in Chicago the Roger P. McAuliffe Post Office I would like to take this time to tell my colleagues about Roger McAuliffe. Roger was not only my constituent, but also a good personal friend, a wonderful man who was first elected to the Illinois General Assembly in 1972. At the time of his tragic death in a boating accident on July 5 of this year, the day before his 58th birthday, Roger was the dean of the Illinois State House Republicans, having just completed his 24th year of service there. In the State house, he served as the assistant majority leader.”
