                 J.J. ``JAKE'' PICKLE FEDERAL BUILDING

  Mr. WARNER. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent the Senate now 
proceed to the consideration of Calendar No. 111, S. 559.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will report.
  The legislative clerk read as follows:

       A bill (S. 559) to designate the Federal building located 
     at 300 East 8th Street in Austin, Texas, as the ``J.J. `Jake' 
     Pickle Federal Building.''

  There being no objection, the Senate proceeded to consider the bill.
  Mr. WARNER. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent the bill be 
considered read a third time and passed, the motion to reconsider be 
laid upon the table, and that any statements relating to the bill be 
printed in the Record.
  Mr. REID. Reserving the right to object, and I will not object, it is 
a pleasure for me to not object in this matter. I had the pleasure of 
serving in the House of Representatives with Congressman Pickle. He was 
a senior Member at the time. He was one of the ranking members, one of 
the senior members of the Ways and Means Committee; a very fine Texan 
and a great American.
  Mr. WARNER. Mr. President, I associate myself with the remarks of my 
distinguished good friend and colleague, the assistant Democratic 
leader. I also knew the Congressman. I think this is a most fitting 
tribute to a long and dedicated public servant.
  Mr. REID. Again reserving the right to object, which I will not, he 
came here as an aide to President Johnson when President Johnson was a 
Member of the Senate, a staff member.
  Mr. WARNER. Very interesting.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  The bill (S. 559) was ordered to be engrossed for a third reading, 
was read the third time, and passed; as follows:

                                 S. 559

       Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of 
     the United States of America in Congress assembled,

     SECTION 1. DESIGNATION.

       The Federal Building located at 300 East 8th Street in 
     Austin, Texas, shall be known and designated as the ``J.J. 
     `Jake' Pickle Federal Building''.

     SEC. 2. REFERENCES.

       Any reference in a law, map, regulation, document, paper, 
     or other record of the United States to the Federal building 
     referred to in section 1 shall be deemed to be a reference to 
     the ``J.J. `Jake' Pickle Federal Building''.
