JEREMY MALONE POST OFFICE

Congressional Record, Volume 172 Issue 65 (Tuesday, April 14, 2026) [Congressional Record Volume 172, Number 65 (Tuesday, April 14, 2026)] [House] [Pages H2854-H2855] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [ www.gpo.gov ] JEREMY MALONE POST OFFICE Mr. GILL of Texas. Madam Speaker, I move to suspend the rules and pass the bill (H.R. 6995) to designate the facility of the United States Postal Service located at 825 Highway 198 in Beaumont, Mississippi, as the ``Jeremy Malone Post Office''. The Clerk read the title of the bill. The text of the bill is as follows: H.R. 6995 Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, SECTION 1. JEREMY MALONE POST OFFICE. (a) Designation.--The facility of the United States Postal Service located at 825 Highway 198 in Beaumont, Mississippi, shall be known and designated as the ``Jeremy Malone 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 ``Jeremy Malone Post Office''. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to the rule, the gentleman from Texas (Mr. Gill) and the gentleman from Virginia (Mr. Subramanyam) each will control 20 minutes. The Chair recognizes the gentleman from Texas. General Leave Mr. GILL of Texas. Madam Speaker, I ask unanimous consent that all Members may have 5 legislative days in which to revise and extend their remarks and include extraneous material on this measure. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the gentleman from Texas? There was no objection. Mr. GILL of Texas. Madam Speaker, I yield 5 minutes to the gentleman from Mississippi (Mr. Ezell). Mr. EZELL. Madam Speaker, I rise today in support of my legislation to designate the United States Postal Service facility located at 825 Highway 198 in Beaumont, Mississippi, as the Jeremy Malone Post Office. Deputy Jeremy Malone was a dedicated law enforcement officer for over 21 years of service to the people of South Mississippi. On January 4, 2024, he was tragically killed in the line of duty during a traffic stop in George County, Mississippi. As a former law enforcement officer myself, I know the sacrifices that come from wearing a badge. Deputy Malone understood that calling, and he lived every single day serving others, protecting the community, and putting others before himself. Jeremy Malone was more than a deputy. He was a husband, a father, and a man deeply committed to his community. He volunteered his time to help families and children in need, and he made a lasting impact on the lives of those around him. He is survived by his wife, Hilary, and their three daughters, and our prayers remain with them. This designation is a small but meaningful way to ensure that his service, his sacrifice, and his legacy are never forgotten. It will stand as a daily reminder of the bravery of those who serve and the price that is sometimes paid. Deputy Malone represented the very best of law enforcement in South Mississippi. I urge my colleagues to support this legislation and join me in honoring the life of a true American hero. Mr. SUBRAMANYAM. Madam Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume. Madam Speaker, I rise today in support of H.R. 6995 as well. I encourage my colleagues to join me in honoring the life of Jeremy Malone by naming the Post Office in Beaumont after him, and I yield back the balance of my time. [[Page H2855]] Mr. GILL of Texas. Madam Speaker, I yield myself the balance of my time. Madam Speaker, I encourage my House colleagues to support this bill, naming the post office for an honored community member, Deputy Sheriff Jeremy Malone. Madam Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time. The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mrs. Kim). The question is on the motion offered by the gentleman from Texas (Mr. Gill) that the House suspend the rules and pass the bill, H.R. 6995. 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. ____________________
