A measure to name a Virginia post office in honor of the late Congresswoman Jo Ann Davis is headed to the president's desk.

The Senate voted unanimously Tuesday to pass the bill naming Gloucester's Main Street post office for Davis. The U.S. House of Representatives unanimously passed a resolution on April 10.

The measure now goes to President Bush to be signed into law.

The First District Republican died at her Gloucester home on October 7 from breast cancer. She was 57.

Senators John Warner, a Republican, and Democrat Jim Webb both praised the bill they called among the best ways to commemorate the late legislator's life.
