           WILLIAM J. HOLLOWAY, JR. UNITED STATES COURTHOUSE

  Mr. CRAWFORD. Mr. Speaker, I move to suspend the rules and pass the 
bill (S. 261) to designate the United States courthouse located at 200 
NW 4th Street in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, as the ``William J. Holloway, 
Jr. United States Courthouse''.
  The Clerk read the title of the bill.
  The text of the bill is as follows:

                                 S. 261

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

     SECTION 1. WILLIAM J. HOLLOWAY, JR. UNITED STATES COURTHOUSE.

       (a) Designation.--The United States courthouse located at 
     200 NW 4th Street in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, shall be known 
     and designated as the ``William J. Holloway, Jr. 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 ``William J. Holloway, Jr. 
     United States Courthouse''.

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to the rule, the gentleman from 
Arkansas (Mr. Crawford) and the gentlewoman from Florida (Ms. Brown) 
each will control 20 minutes.
  The Chair recognizes the gentleman from Arkansas.


                             General Leave

  Mr. CRAWFORD. Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent that all Members 
may have 5 legislative days in which to revise and extend their remarks 
and include extraneous material on S. 261.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the 
gentleman from Arkansas?
  There was no objection.
  Mr. CRAWFORD. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume.
  Mr. Speaker, S. 261 would designate the United States Courthouse 
located at 200 Northwest Fourth Street in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, as 
the William J. Holloway, Jr. United States Courthouse.
  A native of Oklahoma, Judge Holloway served in the U.S. Army during 
World War II. Judge Holloway was nominated by the Tenth Circuit Court 
of Appeals by President Johnson in 1968. He served as chief judge from 
1984 to 1991 and assumed senior status in 1992 until his death in 2014.
  During his 45 years on the bench, he authored over 900 opinions and 
became the longest serving tenth circuit judge. I think it is more than 
fitting to name this courthouse after him.
  Mr. Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.
  Ms. BROWN of Florida. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may 
consume.
  Mr. Speaker, I rise in support of this legislation.
  Judge Holloway was well-respected and served for over 45 years as an 
appellate judge in the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals. During his 
tenure, Judge Holloway wrote more than 900 appellate opinions and 
continued to serve as a judge until his death in 2014.
  Judge Holloway received many awards, including the President's Award 
from the Oklahoma Bar Association and the Humanitarian Award from the 
National Conference of Christians and Jews, and had a prestigious 
lecture series named after him.
  Because of Judge Holloway's long Federal service and his universally 
revered work ethic, I support naming the U.S. Courthouse located in 
Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, as the William J. Holloway, Jr. United States 
Courthouse.
  Mr. Speaker, I have no further speakers and no further comments. I 
support the legislation.
  Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time.
  Mr. CRAWFORD. Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentlewoman for her support, 
and I urge all of my colleagues to support S. 261.
  Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on the motion offered by the 
gentleman from Arkansas (Mr. Crawford) that the House suspend the rules 
and pass the bill, S. 261.
  The question was taken; and (two-thirds being in the affirmative) the 
rules were suspended and the bill was passed.
  A motion to reconsider was laid on the table.
