LITTLE ROCK (KATV) — A bill sponsored by Congressman Bruce Westerman (AR-04) will now be sent to President Biden’s desk after the U.S. Senate approved designating a name change in honor of legendary singer/songwriter Johnny Cash.
It passed the House on June 3, 2024. U.S. Senators John Boozman and Tom Cotton both issued statements on the passage.
“Johnny Cash’s legendary career helped define a generation and still inspires artists today,” said Senator Boozman.
“We are incredibly proud to call him an Arkansas native. I’m pleased this legislation to bestow the postal facility in his birthplace of Kingsland with his name is now headed to the president’s desk to serve as another reminder of his iconic and lasting impact.”
“Johnny Cash was an Arkansas original with an unparalleled legacy in the Natural State,” said Senator Cotton.
“There is no more appropriate honor for Cash than for the post office in the hometown of Kingsland that he loved so dearly to bear his name.”
