“Mr. Speaker, I want to join the gentleman from California [Mr. Kim] in supporting S. 819, a bill to designate the courthouse on South Washington Street in Alexandria, VA, in honor of Judge Martin Bostetter, Jr. He certainly deserves it. I would also like to state that the gentleman from Virginia [Mr. Moran], one of my Democratic colleagues, has also introduced companion legislation, H.R. 1851, also a bill naming this courthouse in honor of Judge Martin Bostetter, Jr. Judge Bostetter served the people of Virginia for over 40 years. He ranks among the longest sitting full-time bankruptcy judges in these United States. He has long been associated with and active in many civic and community organizations, including the Chamber of Commerce in Alexandria, the Alexandria Hospital, and the Alexandria Boys Club, to show the diversity of his involvement and his caring of the people whom he has served for so many years. I am proud to join the gentleman from Virginia, [Mr. Moran], Senator Warner, and the gentleman from California, [Mr. Kim] in this legislation.”
