      By Mr. HATCH:
  S. 1232. A bill to designate the newly-constructed annex to the E. 
Barrett Prettyman Courthouse located at 333 Constitution Ave., NW., in 
Washington, DC., as the ``James L. Buckley Annex to the E. Barrett 
Prettyman United States Courthouse''; to the Committee on Environment 
and Public Works.
  Mr. HATCH. Mr. President, I rise today to introduce a bill to 
designate the newly-constructed annex to the E. Barrett Prettyman 
United States Courthouse as the ``James L. Buckley Annex.'' As members 
of this body well know, Judge Buckley served in this Senate from 1971-
77, as a trusted colleague from the State of New York. During his 
tenure here, Judge Buckley was greatly admired for his dedication, 
integrity, and professionalism.
  Judge Buckley's lengthy public service career is one of great 
distinction. In addition to the time he spent here in the Senate, Judge 
Buckley served in the United States Navy during World War II, as 
Undersecretary of State for Security Assistance, and as President of 
Radio Free Europe. Most recently, he served for more than a decade as a 
Circuit Judge on the United States Court of Appeals for the District of 
Columbia Circuit, in the E. Barrett Prettyman courthouse.
  Earlier this Congress, we honored Judge Buckley, on the celebration 
of his 80th birthday, by passing unanimously a resolution, S. Res. 88, 
acknowledging his distinguished career in the executive, legislative, 
and judicial branches of the United States.
  Naming the new annex to the E. Barrett Prettyman courthouse after 
Judge Buckley would be a fitting tribute to our former colleague and 
prominent jurist. I am honored to offer this legislation, and I urge my 
colleagues to support this well-deserved commendation.
                                 ______
