      By Mrs. BOXER:
  S. 2888. A bill to direct the Administrator of General Services to 
convey to Fresno County, California, the existing Federal courthouse in 
that country; to the Committee on Environment and Public Works.
  Mrs. BOXER. Mr. President, I introduced a bill that will convey the 
B.F. Sisk Federal Building in Fresno, California to the County of 
Fresno, when the new federal courthouse is completed and occupied.
  Fresno County is a rapidly growing county in the heart of 
California's Great Central Valley. The County of Fresno's Superior 
Court has a serious need for new court space that will grow in the 
years ahead. The Sisk Building contains courtrooms and related space 
that will help the people of Fresno County meet those needs. The Sisk's 
building existing security measures are a perfect fit for Fresno 
County's justice system.
  This legislation is a common sense measure that will allow 
appropriate utilization of the Sisk Building, while contributing to the 
ongoing revitalization of downtown Fresno. I am proud that it is yet 
another opportunity for the federal government to improve the lives of 
Fresno County's people.
