      By Mr. LUGAR (for himself, Mr. Hatch, Mr. Stevens, Mr. Inouye, 
        Mr. Domenici, Mr. Leahy, Mr. Sarbanes, Mr. Kennedy, Mr. Byrd, 
        Mr. Hollings, and Mr. Levin):
  S. 763. A bill to designate the Federal building and United States 
courthouse located at 46 Ohio Street in Indianapolis, Indiana, as the 
``Birch Bayh Federal Building and United States Courthouse''; to the 
Committee on Finance.
  Mr. LUGAR. Mr. President, today I am introducing legislation to name 
the Federal building and United States courthouse located at 46 East 
Ohio Street in Indianapolis, IN, as the ``Birch Bayh Federal Building 
and United States Courthouse.''
  I am pleased to introduce this measure today to honor my colleague 
from Indiana, Senator Bayh. I am joined by my colleagues Mr. Byrd, Mr. 
Domenici, Mr. Hatch, Mr. Hollings, Mr. Inouye, Mr. Kennedy, Mr. Leahy, 
Mr. Levin, Mr. Sarbanes, and Mr. Stevens, who served in the Senate with 
Senator Bayh during his tenure 1963-1981.
  Birch Evan Bayh was born in Terre Haute in 1928. He attended the 
public schools; served in the United States Army 1946-1948; graduated 
Purdue University School of Agriculture at Lafayette in 1951; and 
attended Indiana State University, 1952-1953. Bayh graduated from the 
Indiana University School of Law in 1960; and was admitted to the 
Indiana bar in 1961.
  He worked as a lawyer and farmer in Terre Haute, and served as a 
representative to the Indiana General Assembly from 1954 to 1962. In 
the Assembly, he rose to become minority leader in 1957 and 1961 and 
Speaker of the House in 1959. Senator Bayh was first elected to the 
U.S. Senate in 1962; reelected in 1968 and 1974; and served from 
January 3, 1963, to January 3, 1981.
  I am pleased to introduce this companion legislation in the Senate at 
the request of Representative Carson who introduced a bill in the House 
of Representatives. I hope this measure will be approved by the 
Congress.
