speech of
HON. CHAKA FATTAH
of pennsylvania
in the house of representatives
Monday, September 25, 2000
Mr. FATTAH. Mr. Speaker, as the Ranking member of the Subcommittee on the Postal Service, I am pleased to join my Government Reform Committee colleague, Congresswoman Judy Biggert (R-IL) in the consideration of H.R. 4451. H.R. 4451, which designates a United States Post Office after ``Frederick L. Dewberry, Jr.'', was introduced by my good friend and committee colleague, Representative Elijah Cummings (D-MD), on May 15, 2000.
Mr. Frederick L. Dewberry, Jr. was born and raised in Baltimore City. He is a graduate of Loyola College and received a law degree from the University of Baltimore. A dedicated and distinguished World War II veteran, Lieutenant Dewberry served in the U.S. Navy, working as a sonar operator on submarines. Returning to Maryland, Mr. Dewberry held the very important post of Chairman of the Baltimore County Council from 1964 to 1966. From 1979 to 1984, Frederick Dewberry was the Deputy Secretary of the Maryland Department of Transportation. He passed 10 years ago, on July 9, 1990.
Mr. Speaker, I urge swift adoption of this measure and commend my colleague, Congressman Cummings for seeking to honor Frederick L. Dewberry--a veteran and true public servant.
