                        [To accompany H.R. 819]

      [Including cost estimate of the Congressional Budget Office]

    The Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure, to whom 
was referred the bill (H.R. 819) 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.

                          purpose and summary

    Don Pease was born in Oberlin, Ohio in 1931. He attended 
Lincoln Grammar School and Scott High School in Toledo, Ohio. 
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.

                    hearings and legislative history

    No hearings were held in conjunction with ordering reported 
H.R. 819.

                        committee consideration

    On May 16, 2001, the Full Committee met in open session and 
ordered reported H.R. 819 to designate the Federal building 
located at 143 West Liberty Street, Medina, Ohio, as the 
``Donald J. Pease Federal Building''. It was approved March 28, 
2001, by the Subcommittee on Economic Development, Public 
Buildings and Emergency Management, by voice vote with a quorum 
present. There were no recorded votes taken during Committee 
consideration of H.R. 819.

                             rollcall votes

    Clause 3(b) of rule XIII of the House of Representatives, 
requires each committee report to include the total number of 
votes cast for and against on each record vote on a motion to 
report and on any amendment offered to the measure or matter, 
and the names of those members voting for and against. There 
were no recorded votes taken in connection with ordering H.R. 
819 reported. A motion by Mr. LaTourette to order H.R. 819 
favorably reported to the House was agreed to by voice vote, a 
quorum being present.

                    compliance with house rule xiii

    1. With respect to the requirement of clause 3(c)(2) of 
rule XIII of the Rules of the House of Representatives, and 
section 308(a) of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974, the 
Committee references the report of the Congressional Budget 
Office below.
    2. With respect to clause 3(c)(4) of rule XIII of the Rules 
of the House of Representatives, the Committee advises that the 
bill contains no measure that authorizes funding, so no 
statement of general performance and objectives for which any 
measure authorizes funding is required.
    3. With respect to the requirement of clause 3(c)(3) of 
rule XIII of the Rules of the House of Representatives and 
section 402 of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974, the 
Committee has received the following cost estimate for H.R. 819 
from the Director of the Congressional Budget Office.

                                     U.S. Congress,
                               Congressional Budget Office,
                                      Washington, DC, May 17, 2001.
Hon. Don Young,
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 May 
16, 2001:
           H.R. 495, a bill to designate the Federal 
        building located in Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas, 
        United States Virgin Islands, as the ``Ron de Lugo 
        Federal Building''; and
           H.R. 819, a bill to designate the Federal 
        building located at 143 West Liberty Street, Medina, 
        Ohio, as the ``Donald J. Pease Federal Building.''
    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.
    If you wish further details on this estimate, we will be 
pleased to provide them. The CBO staff contact is Lanette J. 
Walker.
            Sincerely,
                                          Barry B. Anderson
                                    (For Dan L. Crippen, Director).

                   constitutional authority statement

    Pursuant to clause 3(d)(1) of rule XIII 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. (Public Law 104-4.)

                      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. (Public Law 
104-1.)
