To designate the facility of the United States Postal Service located at 2121 Meridian Park Boulevard in Concord, California, as the Carl Jefferson Post Office Building.

Summary

H.R. 6849 proposes to designate the United States Postal Service facility located at 2121 Meridian Park Boulevard in Concord, California, as the "Carl Jefferson Post Office Building". The bill was introduced in the House of Representatives by Mr. DeSaulnier and referred to the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform. The designation is intended to honor Carl Jefferson.

Expected Effects

If enacted, the bill would officially rename the specified post office building. All references to the facility in laws, maps, regulations, documents, and other records of the United States would be deemed references to the "Carl Jefferson Post Office Building".

Potential Benefits

  • Honors an individual, potentially a local hero or notable figure.
  • May increase community pride and recognition.
  • Provides a lasting tribute within the community.
  • Could serve as a landmark or point of reference.
  • No significant economic or social impact is anticipated.

Potential Disadvantages

  • Potential cost associated with changing signage and official documents, although likely minimal.
  • May not be considered a high priority issue compared to other pressing concerns.
  • Could be perceived as a symbolic gesture without substantive impact.
  • The designation itself does not address any underlying issues or needs of the community.
  • Possible debate over the appropriateness of the honoree.

Constitutional Alignment

The bill appears to align with the legislative powers granted to Congress under Article I, Section 8 of the US Constitution, which includes the power to establish post offices and post roads. The designation of a federal building does not infringe upon any specific constitutional rights or limitations.
