                              R E P O R T

                        [To accompany H.R. 2972]

      [Including cost estimate of the Congressional Budget Office]

    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 do pass.
    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.

    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

                      COMMITTEE OVERSIGHT FINDINGS

    With respect to the requirements of clause 3(c)(1) of rule

Committee's oversight findings and recommendations are 
reflected in this report.

                          COST OF LEGISLATION

    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.

                    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

                                     U.S. Congress,
                               Congressional Budget Office,
                                  Washington, DC, November 9, 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 
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 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. 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).

                   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.)
