Pete Sessions Republican
“I want the House to pass this bill. It names a post office in Georgetown, Ohio, after President Ulysses S. Grant to honor his service to our country.”
“Mr. Speaker, I yield myself the balance of my time. Mr. Speaker, at this time, I join Mr. Taylor in thanking the Ohio delegation and really all of our Members for their recognition of service to this great Nation in the naming of this post office. The effort that the President made to represent the United States, the unity that you heard about his service to the United States military, his service to the Department of Justice, his service to the people of the country to bring them together at a time when many thought we could not survive as a nation, to honor him now is, without question, the right thing to do. Naming this post office in his hometown of Georgetown, Ohio, is a high honor to the people of that town also. Mr. Speaker, I encourage my colleagues to support this bill, naming a post office for our 18th President of the United States, Ulysses S. Grant. Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time.”
