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

                              R E P O R T

                        [To accompany H.R. 1405]

      [Including cost estimate of the Congressional Budget Office]

    The Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure, to whom 
was referred the bill (H.R. 1405) to designate the Federal 
building located at 143 West Liberty Street, Medina, Ohio, as 
the ``Donald J. Pease Federal Building'', having considered the 
same, report favorably thereon without amendment and recommend 
that the bill do pass.
    Don Pease was born in Oberlin, Ohio in 1931 and attended 
Lincoln Grammar School in Toledo, and Scott High School. He 
received his B.S. in 1953 and M.A. in 1955 from the University 
of Ohio in Athens. Congressman Pease was a Fulbright scholar 
and continued his studies at Kings College, University of 
Durham, England. He served in the United States Army from 1955 
until 1957 and returned to Ohio to work at the Oberlin News-
Tribune. Congressman Pease was first elected to public office 
in 1962 to the Oberlin City Council. In 1964, he was elected to 
the Ohio Senate. He served in the Ohio Legislature from 1965 
until 1976, at which time he was elected to the 95th Congress.
    Congressman Pease was a member of the House International 
Relations Committee and began his tenure in the House 
advocating human rights. Five years later he secured a seat on 
the Ways and Means Committee, and by the 102nd Congress earned 
one of three seats on the Budget Committee reserved for Ways 
and Means members. Congressman Pease's efforts to work with 
both sides of the aisle include service on the conference 
committee for the tax reform bill of 1986, and mediation 
between congressional leaders and the Administration during the 
1990 budget summit.
    Since leaving Congress, Congressman Pease serves as 
Visiting Distinguished Professor in Oberlin College's 
Department of Politics. This designation is honoring a 
dedicated public servant.

    On April 11, 2000, the Committee met in open session and 
ordered reported H.R. 1405, designating the Federal building 
located at 143 West Liberty Street in Medina, Ohio as the 
``Donald J. Pease Federal Building,'' discharged from the 
Subcommittee on Economic Development, Public Buildings, 
Hazardous Materials and Pipeline Transportation. There were no

and the names of those members voting for and against. There 
were no recorded votes taken in connection with ordering H.R. 
1405 reported. A motion by Mr. Franks to order H.R. 1405 
favorably reported to the House was agreed to by voice vote, a 
quorum being present.

                        cost of the legislation

    Clause 3(d)(2) of rule XIII of the Rules of the House of

1974 has been timely submitted prior to the filing of the

                               Congressional Budget Office,
                                    Washington, DC, April 12, 2000.
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 
April 11, 2000. 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 legislation contains 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. 1405, a bill to designate the federal 
        building located at 143 West Liberty Street, Medina, 
        Ohio, as the ``Donald J. Pease Federal Building;''
           H.R. 1571, a bill to designate the federal 
        building under construction at 600 State Street in New 
        Haven, Connecticut, as the ``Merrill S. Parks, Jr., 
        Federal Building;''
           H.R. 1729, a bill to designate the federal 
        facility located at 1301 Emmet Street in 
        Charlottesville, Virginia, as the ``Pamela B. Gwin 
        Hall;'' and
           H.R. 1901, a bill to designate the United 
        States border station located in Pharr, Texas, as the 
        ``Kika de la Garza United States Border Station.''
    If you wish further details on this estimate, we will be 
pleased to provide them. The CBO staff contact is John R. 
Righter.
            Sincerely,
                                           Steven Lieberman
                                    (For Dan L. Crippen, Director).
