 Mr. Shuster, from the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure, 
                        submitted the following

                              R E P O R T

                        [To accompany H.R. 2111]

    The Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure, to whom 
was referred the bill (H.R. 2111) to designate the Social 
Security Administration's Western Program Service Center 
located at 1221 Nevin Avenue, Richmond, California, as the 
``Francis J. Hagel Building'', having considered the same, 
report favorably thereon with amendments and recommend that the 
bill as amended do pass.
    The amendments are as follows:
    Strike out all after the enacting clause and insert in lieu 
thereof the following:

SECTION 1. DESIGNATION.

    The Federal building located at 1221 Nevin Avenue in Richmond, 
California, shall be known and designated as the ``Frank Hagel Federal 
Building''.

SEC. 2. REFERENCES.

    Any reference in a law, map, regulation, document, paper, or other 
record of the United States to the Federal building referred to in 
section 1 shall be deemed to be a reference to the ``Frank Hagel 
Federal Building''.

    Amend the title so as to read:

    A bill to designate the Federal building located at 1221 Nevin 
Avenue in Richmond, California, as the ``Frank Hagel Federal 
Building''.

    Mr. Hagel began his service with the government as a file 
clerk for the Social Security Administration in Kansas in 1965. 
His hard work and talent continually promoted him through the 
technical and managerial ranks. He came to the Western Program 
Service Center in Richmond, California in 1986, and was 
promoted to Assistant Regional Commissioner for Processing 
Center Operations. In 1991, he once again showed exceptional 
leadership during the Legionnaire's Disease outbreak among the 
Center's staff and received his second Social Security 
Commissioner's Citation. Finally, in 1994, Mr. Hagel was 
appointed the Assistant Regional Commissioner, Management and 
Budget, Region IX.
    Mr. Hagel passed away on January 1, 1995. Employees 
throughout the region felt a personal loss. During his 25 years 
of service, he oversaw the processing of benefit payment 
records for over 4.5 million people throughout the nation. He 
was a model citizen of Richmond, who selflessly provided 
community service to fellow residents. In appreciation of Mr. 
Hagel's leadership and in recognition of Mr. Hagel's dedication 
and service to the nation and his community, the employees of 
the Western Program Service Center and the city of Richmond 
expressed their wish to name this building in his honor.
    H.R. 2111 demonstrates the great appreciation of those who 
worked with Mr. Hagel and of all those whose lives he enhanced 
through his hard work.
