Bay Pines, Florida -- Congress is moving quickly to honor the late Rep. C.W. "Bill" Young by naming the Veterans Affairs Medical Center in Bay Pines after the long-term lawmaker, who was a champion for military troops and veterans.

Young, the longest-serving Republican House member, died Friday at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Washington. He was 82 and had been hospitalized following back surgery.

The House could vote as early as Wednesday to rename the Pinellas County facility, known formally as the Bay Pines VA Healthcare System, under legislation sponsored by House Veterans' Affairs Committee Chairman Jeff Miller, R-Florida.

Florida's two senators -- Democrat Bill Nelson and Republican Marco Rubio -- also have filed legislation to name the center after Young.
