This legislative proposal seeks to officially rename a specific United States Postal Service facility. Specifically, the post office located at 1200 William Street, Room 200, in Buffalo, New York , will be designated as the "William J. Donovan Post Office Building." Furthermore, the bill mandates that all future references in any law, map, regulation, document, paper, or other record of the United States pertaining to this facility will automatically refer to it by its new name. This ensures a consistent and official recognition of the designated name across all governmental records and communications, thereby honoring William J. Donovan.
