                         PURPOSE OF LEGISLATION

    S. 307 would designate the Federal building and United 
States Courthouse at 217 West King Street, Martinsburg, West 
Virginia as the ``W. Craig Broadwater Federal Building and 
United States Courthouse''.

                  BACKGROUND AND NEED FOR LEGISLATION

    S. 307 would designate the Federal building and United 
States Courthouse on West King Street in Martinsburg, West 
Virginia, as the ``W. Craig Broadwater Federal Building and 
United States Courthouse''.
    Judge W. Craig Broadwater was born on August 8, 1950 in Elk 
City, Oklahoma. He attended West Virginia University, where he 
earned his undergraduate and law degrees. He spent several 
years in private practice (1977 to 1983) until he was appointed 
as a state circuit judge for the First Judicial Circuit of West 
Virginia. He served in that capacity until his appointment in 
1996 by President William J. Clinton to the Federal bench as a 
Judge on the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of 
West Virginia.
    Judge Broadwater was also a decorated military officer. He 
began his career in the military in 1972 when he was 
commissioned in the United States Army. He served for two years 
on active duty as a Military Intelligence Officer and served a 
tour in Korea. In 1976, he continued his military service in 
the West Virginia Army National Guard as an Operational 
Detachment Executive Officer with C Company, 2d Battalion, 19th 
Special Forces Group (Airborne). During that time he rose to 
Battalion Commander and served in Haiti for Operation Uphold 
Democracy. He eventually rose to the rank of Brigadier General 
and, in 2003, served as the Deputy Director for the Center of 
Operations, Plans and Policy with the United States Special 
Operations Command in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom. 
Later, he served in other capacities including as Commanding 
General, Joint Interagency Task Force-High Value Individuals, 
Multi-National Force-Iraq.
    Upon his untimely death in 2006, Judge Broadwater was 
serving both as an active Federal judge and as Assistant 
Adjutant General for Installations and Homeland Security for 
the West Virginia Army National Guard. During his military 
service, he received over 20 major awards and decorations, 
including the Defense Superior Service Medal and the Bronze 
Star.

                 LEGISLATIVE HISTORY AND CONSIDERATION

    On February 8, 2011, Senator John D. Rockefeller, IV, 
introduced S. 307, a bill to designate the Federal building and 
United States Courthouse at 217 West King Street, Martinsburg, 
West Virginia as the ``W. Craig Broadwater Federal Building and

introduced companion legislation, H.R. 534 on February 8, 2011, 
and the bill was referred to the Transportation and 
Infrastructure Committee.
    On March 16, 2011, the Committee on Transportation and 
Infrastructure met in open session, and ordered the bill 
reported favorably to the House by voice vote with a quorum 
present.

                                HEARINGS

    No hearings were held on S. 307.

                            COMMITTEE VOTES

measure or matter, and the names of those members voting for 
and against. There were no record votes taken in connection

                      COMMITTEE OVERSIGHT FINDINGS

    With respect to the requirements of clause 3(c)(1) of rule 
XIII of the Rules of the House of Representatives, the 
Committee's oversight findings and recommendations are 
reflected in this report.

               NEW BUDGET AUTHORITY AND TAX EXPENDITURES

    Clause 3(c)(2) of rule XIII of the Rules of the House of 
Representatives does not apply where a cost estimate and 
comparison prepared by the Director of the Congressional Budget 
Office under section 402 of the Congressional Budget Act of 
1974 has been timely submitted prior to the filing of the 
report and is included in the report. Such a cost estimate is 
included in this report.

                    PERFORMANCE GOALS AND OBJECTIVES

    With respect to the requirement of clause 3(c)(4) of rule 
XIII of the Rules of the House of Representatives, the 
performance goal and objective of this legislation is to 
designate the Federal building and United States Courthouse at 
217 West King Street, Martinsburg, West Virginia as the ``W. 
Craig Broadwater Federal Building and United States 
Courthouse''.

               CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET OFFICE COST ESTIMATE

    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 enclosed cost estimate for S. 307 from the 
Director of the Congressional Budget Office:

                                     U.S. Congress,
                               Congressional Budget Office,
                                    Washington, DC, March 18, 2011.
Hon. John L. Mica,
Chairman, Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure,
House of Representatives, Washington, DC.
    Dear Mr. Chairman: The Congressional Budget Office has 
reviewed S. 307, an act to designate the Federal building and 
United States Courthouse located at 217 West King Street in 
Martinsburg, West Virginia, as the ``W. Craig Broadwater 
Federal Building and United States Courthouse,'' as ordered 
reported by the House Committee on Transportation and 
Infrastructure on March 16, 2011.
    CBO estimates that enacting this legislation would have no 
significant impact on the Federal budget and would not affect 
direct spending or revenues; therefore, pay-as-you-go 
procedures do not apply. S. 307 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. If you wish further details on this estimate, we 
will be pleased to provide them. The CBO staff contact is 
Matthew Pickford.
            Sincerely,
                                      Douglas W. Elmendorf,
                                                          Director.

                          ADVISORY OF EARMARKS

    Pursuant to clause 9 of rule XXI of the Rules of the House 
of Representatives, the Committee is required to include a list 
of congressional earmarks, limited tax benefits, or limited 
tariff benefits as defined in clause 9(e), 9(f), and 9(g) of 
rule XXI of the Rules of the House of Representatives. No 
provision in the bill includes an earmark, limited tax benefit, 
or limited tariff benefit under clause 9(e), 9(f), or 9(g) of 
rule XXI.

                       FEDERAL MANDATE 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'' (P.L. 104-4).

                        PREEMPTION CLARIFICATION

    Section 423 of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974 
requires the report of any Committee on a bill or joint 
resolution to include a statement on the extent to which the 
bill or joint resolution is intended to preempt state, local, 
or tribal law. The Committee states that S. 307 does not 
preempt any state, local, or tribal law.

                      ADVISORY COMMITTEE STATEMENT

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

                  APPLICABILITY OF 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 (P.L. 104-1).

         CHANGES IN EXISTING LAW MADE BY THE BILL, AS REPORTED

    S. 307 makes no changes in existing law.
