              CHRISTOPHER S. BOND UNITED STATES COURTHOUSE

  Mr. REID. I ask unanimous consent that the Senate proceed to Calendar 
No. 111, S. 846.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. Casey). The clerk will report the bill by 
title.
  The legislative clerk read as follows:

       A bill (S. 846) to designate the United States Courthouse 
     located at 80 Lafayette Street in Jefferson City, Missouri, 
     as the Christopher S. Bond United States Courthouse.

  There being no objection, the Senate proceeded to consider the bill.
  Mr. REID. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the bill be 
read a third time and passed, the motion to reconsider be laid upon the 
table, and that any statements be printed in the Record.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  The bill (S. 846) was ordered to a third reading, was read the third 
time, and passed, as follows:

                                 S. 846

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

     SECTION 1. CHRISTOPHER S. BOND UNITED STATES COURTHOUSE.

       (a) Designation.--The United States courthouse located at 
     80 Lafayette Street in Jefferson City, Missouri, shall be 
     known and designated as the ``Christopher S. Bond United 
     States Courthouse''.
       (b) References.--Any reference in a law, map, regulation, 
     document, paper, or other record of the United States to the 
     United States courthouse referred to in subsection (a) shall 
     be deemed to be a reference to the ``Christopher S. Bond 
     United States Courthouse''.

  Mr. REID. Mr. President, I note that this courthouse is going to be 
named for our long-term colleague Kit Bond. That is very nice. He is a 
fine man. He served his State in many different ways. He was a 
Governor, a very popular Governor. He served as the ranking member of 
the Intelligence Committee and served admirably.
  One thing he and I talked about on a number of occasions, when he was 
Governor of the State of Missouri, he rescinded an order that had been 
given by his predecessor, a man by the name of Governor Boggs, as I 
recall, which was an extermination order against all the Mormons who 
were in Missouri--extermination meaning to kill them all--and some of 
them were killed. But they worked their way out of Missouri. But that 
extermination order remained in effect until Kit Bond came along. Of 
course, they were not trying to exterminate the Mormons, but as a 
matter of principle he thought that was the wrong thing to do.

  So for that and other reasons, I have fond memories of our friend Kit 
Bond.
