Waiting for a floor vote in the other chamber

Passed one chamber and is on the other chamber's calendar.

The calendar is a queue, not a date. The majority leadership decides what comes to the floor and when; much of what is placed on it is never called, and a bill that is never called simply expires with the Congress.

What this bill would do

This bill names a specific United States Postal Service facility after William J. Donovan. The building is located at 1200 William Street, Room 200, in Buffalo, New York. Moving forward, the facility will be officially known as the William J. Donovan Post Office Building. Any official government documents, laws, maps, or records will use this new name. It is a straightforward naming measure that went through the Senate and was reported without amendment.
