To designate the facility of the United States Postal Service located at 10660 Page Avenue in Fairfax, Virginia, as the "Congressman Gerald E. Connolly Post Office Building".
Summary
What This Bill Does
This bill gives the United States Postal Service facility at 10660 Page Avenue in Fairfax, Virginia the official name Congressman Gerald E. Connolly Post Office Building. It also creates a federal reference rule: every mention of that facility in a United States law, map, regulation, document, paper, or record is deemed to use the commemorative name. The measure changes no postal rates, delivery routes, staffing rules, property ownership, or operating authority. Its direct legal effects are the designation and the administrative treatment of existing and future federal records.
Who Benefits and How
Gerald Connolly's family and supporters receive a durable federal commemoration attached to a public building. Fairfax residents and postal customers gain a clearly identified civic landmark, while federal records users benefit from an unambiguous rule linking older facility references to the new name. Local historical organizations benefit from a formal designation they may use in community interpretation and public events.
Who Bears the Burden and How
United States Postal Service facilities staff must update signage and local materials, and USPS records offices must revise maps and internal references. Federal records managers are required to treat prior references as references to the renamed building. Federal taxpayers may pay modest signage and administrative costs, but postal customers face no new fee or service restriction.
Key Provisions
- Establishes the USPS facility at 10660 Page Avenue in Fairfax as the Congressman Gerald E. Connolly Post Office Building.
