The Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure, to whom

was referred the bill (H.R. 2972) to designate the Federal building

and United States courthouse located at 550 West Fort Street in

Boise, Idaho, as the ‘‘James A. McClure Federal Building and

United States Courthouse’’, having considered the same, report favorably thereon without amendment and recommend that the bill

James A. McClure was born in Payette, Idaho on December 27,

1924 and attended public schools in Payette. He served in the

United States Navy from 1942 until 1946. Following his tour with

the Navy he earned his J.D. degree from the University of Idaho

College of Law in 1950 and was admitted to the Idaho bar that

same year.

He commenced private practice in Payette before serving as prosecuting attorney of Payette County until 1956. During that same

time he served as city attorney from 1953 until 1966, and in the

Idaho State Senate from 1961 until 1966, as well as being a member of the Payette County Central Committee for fifteen years.

Senator McClure was elected to the United States House of Representatives to serve in the 90th Congress. He served for three succeeding terms from 1967 until 1972. He was elected to the United

States Senate in 1972 and served succeeding terms until his retirement in 1991. While in the Senate, Senator McClure was Chairman of the Committee on Energy and Natural Resources from 1981

until 1987 and Chairman of the Senate Republican Conference

from 1981 until 1985.

This bill is a fitting honor to a dedicated public servant.

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 November 7, 2001. 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 privatesector 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. 3093, a bill to designate the federal building and

United States courthouse located at 501 Bell Street in Alton,

Illinois, as the ‘‘William L. Beatty Federal Building and United

States Courthouse;’’

• H.R. 2972, a bill to designate the federal building and

United States courthouse located at 550 West Fort Street in

Boise, Idaho, as the ‘‘James A. McClure Federal Building and

United States Courthouse;’’

• H.R. 2776, a bill to designate buildings 315, 318 and 319

located at the Federal Aviation Administration’s William J.

Hughes Technical Center in Atlantic City, New Jersey, as the

‘‘Frank R. Lautenberg Aviation Security Complex;’’

• H.R. 2841, a bill to designate the building located at 1 Federal Plaza in New York, New York, as the ‘‘James L. Watson

United States Court of International Trade Building;’’ and

• S. 378, an act to redesignate the federal building located at

3348 South Kedzie Avenue, in Chicago, Illinois, as the ‘‘Paul

Simon Chicago Job Corps Center.’’

If you wish further details on this estimate, we will be pleased

to provide them. The CBO staff contact is Matthew Pickford.

Sincerely,

BARRY B. ANDERSON

(For Dan L. Crippen, Director).
