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.

U.S. Congress,
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).
