“Our committee's protocols for considering postal naming measures require the entire State delegation to be cosponsors. That is a protocol that has been in place for decades. While limited exceptions have been made in the past, this bill currently has only 27 cosponsors from Texas' 38 members. We are, of course, supportive on the substance of the legislation and are absolutely supportive of honoring the legacy of the Representative's constituent, and we would simply urge mindfulness toward the committee rules. Mr. Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.”
