BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. RASKIN. Madam Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume.

I rise in strong support of H.R. 599 to designate the facility of the U.S. Postal Service located at 3500 West 6th Street, Suite 103 in Los Angeles, California, as the Dosan Ahn Chang Ho Post Office.

This legislation introduced by my colleague, the distinguished Representative Jimmy Gomez of California, would designate a post office after the Korean-American leader, Dosan Ahn Chang Ho. A Korean independence activist who immigrated to the United States, he became an early leader in the Korean-American immigrant community. He opposed the Japanese occupation of Korea and later served as a founding member of the Korean Provisional Government.

Madam Speaker, I yield such time as he may consume to the distinguished gentleman from California (Mr. Gomez).

Mr. RASKIN. Madam Speaker, in closing, I would encourage all of my colleagues to join us in honoring the life of Mr. Ho by naming a post office in Los Angeles after him.

Madam Speaker, I urge passage of H.R. 599, and I yield back the balance of my time.
