First District Congressman Paul Ryan today announced the scheduling of a special dedication ceremony that he will be hosting with the United States Postal Service to change the official name of the Janesville Post Office to the "Les Aspin Post Office Building." The late Congressman and U.S. Secretary of Defense Les Aspin served as a representative from Wisconsin's First Congressional District for twenty-two years, until his resignation in January of 1993 to become Secretary of Defense in the Cabinet of President Clinton. Former Secretary Aspin passed away on May 21, 1995. Earlier this year, Congressman Ryan introduced legislation to rename the U.S. Post Office in Janesville the Les Aspin Post Office Building as a tribute to the late Secretary Aspin. This legislation was signed into law, and the dedication ceremony has been scheduled for Friday, September 29, 2000 at 2:00 pm.
