BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. BURLISON. Mr. Speaker, I move to suspend the rules and pass the bill (S. 3946) to designate the facility of the United States Postal Service located at 1106 Main Street in Bastrop, Texas, as the ``Sergeant Major Billy D. Waugh Post Office''.

The Clerk read the title of the bill.

The text of the bill is as follows: S. 3946

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, SECTION 1. SERGEANT MAJOR BILLY D. WAUGH POST OFFICE.

(a) Designation.--The facility of the United States Postal Service located at 1106 Main Street in Bastrop, Texas, shall be known and designated as the ``Sergeant Major Billy D. Waugh Post Office''.

(b) References.--Any reference in a law, map, regulation, document, paper, or other record of the United States to the facility referred to in subsection (a) shall be deemed to be a reference to the ``Sergeant Major Billy D. Waugh Post Office''.

Mr. Speaker, I rise in support of this bill, which would rename a post office located in Texas in honor of Sergeant Major Billy D. Waugh.

Sergeant Major Waugh served for five decades as an Army paratrooper, Special Forces soldier, combat veteran, USPS mail handler, and CIA paramilitary operations officer. He passed away in April 2023.
