H.R. 4543 is expected to be considered on the floor of the House on Monday, April 26, 2010, under a motion to suspend the rules, requiring a two-thirds vote for passage. The legislation was introduced by Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D-CA) on January 27, 2010.

H.R. 4543 would designate the facility of the United States Postal Service located at 4285 Payne Avenue in San Jose, California, as the "Anthony J. Cortese Post Office Building".

Anthony Cortese was president of the letter carriers union in San Jose, Calif., for 26 years, one of the longest tenures of any local labor official.

According to CBO, any costs related to new post office designations, which include the cost of changing the name on the building, signs, and maps, are not significant.
