BACKGROUND AND NEED FOR LEGISLATION

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.

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.
