BACKGROUND AND NEED FOR THE LEGISLATION

H.R. 2911 was introduced on September 21, 2001 by Congressman Hoyer and Congresswoman Morella of Maryland.

Dr. Harvey Washington Wiley was born in a log farmhouse in Indiana in 1844. Dr. Wiley earned his bachelor degree with honors

from Hanover College and his M.D. from Indiana Medical College

in 1871. Earning his B.S. from Harvard after only a few months

of intense effort, Dr. Wiley then accepted a faculty position in

chemistry at Purdue University in 1874. His final years with the

University were spent studying sugar chemistry, hoping to develop

a strong domestic sugar industry for the United States. In 1882 Dr.

Wiley was named Chief Chemist at the U.S. Department of Agriculture. In this position he was known as the father of the Pure

Food and Drugs Act when it became law in 1906 and from 1907

to 1912 he served as the first commissioner of what would later become the Food and Drug Administration. In 1912, Dr. Wiley took

over the laboratories for Good Housekeeping Magazine where he

established the Good Housekeeping Seal of Approval and continued

to work tirelessly on behalf of the consuming public.

U.S. CONGRESS, CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET OFFICE, Washington, DC, March 22, 2002.

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 legislation, as ordered reported by the House

Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure on March 20,

2001:

• H.R. 2672, a bill to designate the United States courthouse

to be constructed at 8th Avenue and Mill Street in Eugene, Oregon, as the ‘‘Wayne Lyman Morse United States Courthouse’’;

• H.R. 2911, a bill to designate the federal building located

at 5100 Paint Branch Parkway in College Park, Maryland, as

the ‘‘Harvey W. Wiley 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.

These 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 Matthew Pickford.

Sincerely,

BARRY B. ANDERSON

(For Dan L. Crippen, Director).
