H.R. 3018, as amended, names certain facilities of the U.S. Postal Service in South Carolina: The United States Post Office, located at 557 East Bay Street in Charleston, South Carolina, as the Marybelle H. Howe Post Office; the United States Post Office, located at 301 Main Street in Eastover, South Carolina, as the Layford R. Johnson Post Office; the United States Post Office, located at 78 Sycamore Street in Charleston, South Carolina, as the Richard E. Fields Post Office; and the United States Post Office, located at 4026 Lamar Street in the Eau Claire community of Columbia, South Carolina, as the Mamie G. Floyd Post Office. These individuals, thoughtfully selected by the gentleman from South Carolina (Mr. Clyburn), the sponsor of H.R. 3018, have made enormous contributions to their communities and states and deserve to be recognized by having a postal facility named in their honor. I urge my colleagues to join me in support of this important postal-naming measure.
