Plain Language Summary
# Summary of HR 1706 **What the Bill Does** This bill would officially rename a U.S. Postal Service building located at 1200 William Street in Buffalo, New York. The facility would be designated as the "William J. Donovan Post Office Building" to honor William J. Donovan.
The change would be purely ceremonial—it would not affect the building's operations or services, only its official name. **Who It Affects and Current Status** The bill primarily affects the Buffalo, New York community and the local postal service facility. It was introduced by Representative Timothy M. Kennedy (D-NY) and is currently in committee, meaning it has not yet been voted on by the full House of Representatives. Bills of this type—naming or renaming government buildings as tributes—are common in Congress but require legislative action to become official.
