          LEE H. HAMILTON FEDERAL BUILDING AND U.S. COURTHOUSE

  Mr. REID. Madam President, I ask unanimous consent that the Senate 
proceed to the immediate consideration of H.R. 1583 just received from 
the House.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will report the bill by title.
  The legislative clerk read as follows:

       A bill [H.R. 1583] to designate the Federal Building and 
     United States Courthouse located at 121 West Spring Street in 
     New Albany, Indiana, as the ``Lee Hamilton Federal Building 
     and United States Courthouse.''

  There being no objection, the Senate proceeded to consider the bill.
  Mr. REID. Madam President, I ask unanimous consent that the bill be 
read the third time and passed, the motion to reconsider be laid upon 
the table, that any statements relating thereto be printed in the 
Record, with no intervening action or debate.
  Madam President, before you rule, this is a courthouse to be named 
for Lee Hamilton. I had the pleasure of serving with him in the House 
of Representatives on the Foreign Affairs Committee. He is such a fine 
man. He served 25 or 28 years in the House. He retired. He is still 
heavily involved in America's foreign policy. He is one fine person, a 
great representative of what a person who serves the public should be.
  I extend my appreciation to the committees of jurisdiction in the 
Congress for making this possible for a very fine person, Lee Hamilton.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  The bill (H.R. 1583) was read the third time and passed.
