To designate the facility of the United States Postal Service located at 2407 State Route 71, Suite 1, in Spring Lake, New Jersey, as the "James J. Howard Post Office".

H.R. 1431 proposes to designate the United States Postal Service facility located at 2407 State Route 71, Suite 1, in Spring Lake, New Jersey, as the James J. Howard Post Office. This is a commemorative measure that would honor James J. Howard by naming the local postal facility after him.

The bill has been approved by its committee and is now eligible for a floor vote in the House of Representatives. If passed by both chambers and signed by the President, the postal facility would officially bear the James J. Howard Post Office name. For residents of Spring Lake, this would mean their local post office would carry this designated name. This type of legislation is a standard congressional tribute that does not create new government programs or significantly alter operations, but rather recognizes individuals through the naming of federal facilities.
