      [Including cost estimate of the Congressional Budget Office]

    The Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure, to whom 
was referred the bill (H.R. 2911) to designate the Federal 
building located at 5100 Paint Branch Parkway in College Park, 
Maryland, as the ``Harvey W. Wiley Federal Building'', having 
considered the same, report favorably thereon without amendment 
and recommend that the bill do pass.

                       Purpose of the Legislation

    H.R. 2911 is a bill designating the Federal building 
located at 1500 Paint Branch Parkway in College Park, Maryland, 
as the ``Harvey W. Wiley Federal Building''.

                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.

                               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).

                   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)
