Designates the United States Postal Service facility at 201 West Oklahoma Avenue in Guthrie, Oklahoma, as the "Oscar J. Upham Post Office." It also states that any federal references to that facility in laws, maps, regulations, documents, or records shall be understood to refer to the new name. The change is purely nominal and ceremonial: it renames the building and updates official references, without creating new programs, spending, or regulatory requirements.
