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

I rise in support of H.R. 6983. I thank the distinguished gentleman from Georgia for introducing it. The dedicated public servant and community member, Nell Patten Roquemore, was born and raised in Lakeland, Georgia.

Ms. Roquemore heralded the titles of Lakeland postmaster, mayor pro- tem, secretary to Generals at Moody Air Force Base, and she was also a schoolteacher.

I encourage my colleagues to join me in appropriately honoring the life of Ms. Roquemore by naming the post office in Lakeland, Georgia, after her.

Madam Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time.
