Mr. Speaker, I rise today in support of my amendment to H.R. 8753, Ms. Boebert's bill. I am very grateful for the gentlewoman bringing this forward. My amendment would designate a new ZIP Code for Pendleton, New York. Pendleton is a growing community that has long been overlooked in our postal infrastructure. Mail delays can cause serious consequences, especially for our seniors relying on timely medication or for local businesses depending on consistent shipping to serve their customers. This simple change would improve the quality of life for Pendleton residents by ensuring reliable access to essential goods and services by mail and providing a distinct geographic identity for our community. Mr. Speaker, I urge my colleagues to support this amendment.
