In closing, you have heard today of the passionate, deep-felt belief of our colleague, Congressman Garrett. It is very appropriate to pass this bill and name this post office after Staff Sergeant Joseph D'Augustine. I didn't know his family, but I hope his family will know today, tomorrow, and forever how grateful this Nation is. People like him step up; they serve; they answer the call of their country. I hope we always remember that and give pause and thanks to those men and women who do sacrifice. So I find it very appropriate that we would name this post office after this young man, Staff Sergeant Joseph D'Augustine. I urge the passage of this bill. I yield back the balance of my time. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on the motion offered by the gentleman from Utah (Mr. Chaffetz) that the House suspend the rules and pass the bill, S. 994. The question was taken; and (two-thirds being in the affirmative) the rules were suspended and the bill was passed. A motion to reconsider was laid on the table. ____________________

I think this is one area where clearly the money that we are putting in has the potential to really do a huge amount of good for people's lives.
