PURPOSE OF LEGISLATION

S. 378, designates the Federal building located at 3348 South

Kedzie Avenue, in Chicago, Illinois as the ‘‘Paul Simon Chicago Job

Corps Center’’.

BACKGROUND AND NEED FOR THE LEGISLATION

Senator Paul Simon was born in Eugene, Oregon on November

29, 1928 and attended public schools. He went on to attend the

University of Oregon Dana College in Blair, Nebraska. At the age

of 19 Senator Simon became the nation’s youngest editor-publisher

by saving the Troy Tribune in Troy, Illinois. He expanded his newspaper business to a chain of 14 weeklies in central and southern

Illinois. Senator Simon used the newspaper to expose a syndicate

gambling operation in Madison County, and in 1951 at the age of

22, he was called to testify before the United States Crime Investigating Committee. In 1966 he sold his newspaper business to devote full time to writing and public service.

From 1951 until 1953, Senator Simon served in the United

States Army. He was assigned to the Counter Intelligence Corps as

a special agent along the Iron Curtain in Europe. Upon his return

from Europe, at the age of 25, Senator Simon was elected to the

2

Illinois House of Representatives. He was re-elected three times before being elected to the State Senate in 1962 for a four year-term.

Voters returned him to the State Senate in 1966. Half way through

his second State Senate term he was elected Lieutenant Governor

and served until 1973. He was the first Lieutenant Governor to be

elected to that post with the Governor of another party.

Senator Simon was elected to the United States House of Representatives in 1974 and served for ten years before being elected

to the United States Senate in 1984. While in Congress, Senator

Simon was a leading advocate for education, disability policy and

foreign affairs. He was the chief sponsor of the Missing Children

Act, which established the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. Senator Simon also played a vital role with enacting job training education programs including the National Literacy Act, the School-to-Work Opportunities Act, the Job Training

Partnership Act and the direct college loan program. He was also

the chief sponsor of the Balanced Budget amendment of 1986 and

initiated legislation to designate the first five federally chartered

high-speed rail corridors.

Senator Simon holds 39 honorary degrees and has written 15

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

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’’;

• 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

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

Simon Chicago Job Corps Center.’’
