objection, referred to the Committee on Appropriations:
         Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure, House of 
           Representatives,
                                     Washington, DC, May 17, 2013.
     Hon. John Boehner, Speaker of the House,
     House of Representatives,
     The Capitol, Washington, DC.
       Dear Mr. Speaker: I have enclosed a copy of the resolution 
     adopted by the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure 
     on May 16, 2013. Pursuant to section 3307 of Title 40, United 
     States Code, the Committee on Transportation and 
     Infrastructure met in open session to consider a resolution 
     to authorize an alteration project included in the General 
     Services Administration's FY2013 Capital Investment and 
     Leasing Program.
       Our Committee continues to work to cut waste and the cost 
     of federal property. The resolution authorizes $10 million to 
     reconfigure the existing federal courthouse in Greenbelt, 
     Maryland in lieu of the original plan to construct a new $128 
     million annex, saving the taxpayer $118 million. This 
     resolution is in line with the Committee's goal of decreasing 
     the Judiciary's real estate footprint and increasing the 
     utilization of existing courthouses.
       I have enclosed a copy of the resolution adopted by the 
     Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure on May 16, 
     2013.
           Sincerely,
                                                     Bill Shuster,
                                                         Chairman.
       Enclosure.
  There was no objection.
