                        submitted the following

                              R E P O R T

                        [To accompany H.R. 3982]

      [Including cost estimate of the Congressional Budget Office]

    The Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure, to whom 
was referred the bill (H.R. 3982) to designate the Federal 
building located at 310 New Bern Avenue in Raleigh, North 
Carolina, as the ``Terry Sanford Federal Building'', having 
considered the same, report favorably thereon with an amendment 
and recommend that the bill as amended do pass.
    The amendment is as follows:
    Strike out all after the enacting clause and insert in lieu 
thereof the following:

SECTION 1. DESIGNATION.

  The Federal building located at 310 New Bern Avenue in Raleigh, North 
Carolina, shall be known and designated as the ``Terry Sanford Federal 
Building''.

SEC. 2. REFERENCES.

  Any reference in 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 ``Terry Sanford 
Federal Building''.

                               BACKGROUND

    Terry Sanford was born in Laurinburg, North Carolina, in 
1917. He attended the University of North Carolina at Chapel 
Hill for his undergraduate studies as well as his law degree, 
graduating in 1946. Senator Sanford also served in World War 
II, initially as a special agent for the Federal Bureau of 
Investigation, and then later as a volunteer recruit in the 
United States Army. He began his service in the Army as a 
private. However, he later served as a paratrooper in five 
European campaigns, including Normandy, and was discharged as a 
First Lieutenant.
    In addition to founding three law firms, two in Raleigh and 
one in Fayetteville, Senator Sanford held a number of public 
offices. He was a member and Secretary-Treasurer of the North 
Carolina State Ports Authority from 1950 until 1953. In 1953, 
Senator Sanford was elected to the North Carolina State Senate 
and served until 1955. Later, after founding one of three law 
firms, Senator Sanford was elected Governor of North Carolina, 
in 1961. Following his term as governor, he returned to private 
practice until 1986, when he made a successful bid to represent 
North Carolina in the United States Senate, serving until 1993.
    Senator Sanford was also dedicated to academia. He was the 
President of Duke University from 1969 to 1984, and continued 
as President Emeritus from 1995 until 1998. Senator Sanford 
also was the recipient of numerous honorary degrees, and served 
on the boards of universities, colleges and educational 
associations, as well as on the boards of a number of 
corporations in the technology industry.
    This is a fitting tribute to a man whose life exemplified 
the essence of public service.

                               Congressional Budget Office,
                                     Washington, DC, June 25, 1998.
Hon. Bud Shuster,
Chairman, Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure, House of 
        Representatives, Washington, DC.
    Dear Mr. Chairman: The Congressional Budget Office has 
reviewed the following bills, which were ordered reported by 
the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure on 
June 25, 1998. CBO estimates that their enactment would have no 
significant impact on the federal budget and would not affect 
direct spending or receipts; therefore, pay-as-you-go 
procedures would not apply. The bills contain no 
intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the 
Unfunded Mandates Reform Act and would impose no costs on 
state, local, or tribal governments. The bills reviewed are:
          H.R. 2379, a bill to designate the federal building 
        and United States courthouse located at 251 North Main 
        Street in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, as the ``Hiram 
        H. Ward Federal Building and United States 
        Courthouse;''
          H.R. 2787, a bill to designate the United States 
        courthouse located at 141 Church Street in New Haven, 
        Connecticut, as the ``Richard C. Lee United States 
        Courthouse;''
          H.R. 3223, a bill to designate the federal building 
        located at 300 East 8th Street in Austin, Texas, as the 
        ``J.J. `Jake' Pickle Federal Building;''
          H.R. 3696, a bill to designate the federal building 
        located at 316 North 26th Street in Billings, Montana, 
        as the ``James F. Battin United States Courthouse;''
          H.R. 3982, a bill to designate the federal building 
        located at 310 New Bern Avenue in Raleigh, North 
        Carolina, as the ``Terry Sanford Federal Building;'' 
        and
          S. 1800, an act to designate the federal building and 
        United States courthouse located at 85 Marconi 
        Boulevard in Columbus, Ohio, as the ``Joseph P. 
        Kinneary United States Courthouse.''
    If you wish further details on this estimate, we will be 
pleased to provide them. The CBO staff contact is John R. 
Righter. This estimate was approved by Robert A. Sunshine, 
Deputy Assistant Director for Budget Analysis.
            Sincerely,
                                         June E. O'Neill, Director.

                   CONSTITUTIONAL AUTHORITY STATEMENT

    Pursuant to clause (2)(l)(4) of rule XI of the Rules of the 
House of Representatives, committee reports on a bill or joint 
resolution of a public character shall include a statement 
citing the specific powers granted to the Congress in the 
Constitution to enact the measure. The Committee on 
Transportation and Infrastructure finds that Congress has the 
authority to enact this measure pursuant to its powers granted 
under article I, section 8 of the Constitution.

                       FEDERAL MANDATES STATEMENT

    The Committee adopts as its own the estimate of federal 
mandates prepared by the Director of the Congressional Budget 
Office pursuant to section 423 of the Unfunded Mandates Reform 
Act.

                      ADVISORY COMMITTEE STATEMENT

    No advisory committees within the meaning of section 5(b) 
of the Federal Advisory Committee Act were created by this 
legislation.

                APPLICABILITY TO THE LEGISLATIVE BRANCH

    The Committee finds that the legislation does not relate to 
the terms and conditions of employment or access to public 
services or accommodations within the meaning of section 
102(b)(3) of the Congressional Accountability Act.

         CHANGES IN EXISTING LAW MADE BY THE BILL, AS REPORTED

    H.R. 3982, as amended, makes no changes in existing law.
