106TH CONGRESS REPORT " ! HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES 2d Session 106–587

PAMELA B. GWIN HALL

APRIL 13, 2000.—Referred to the House Calendar and ordered to be printed

Mr. SHUSTER, from the Committee on Transportation and

Infrastructure, submitted the following

REPORT

[To accompany H.R. 1729]

[Including cost estimate of the Congressional Budget Office]

The Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure, to whom

was referred the bill (H.R. 1729) to designate the Federal facility

located at 1301 Emmet Street in Charlottesville, Virginia, as the

‘‘Pamela B. Gwin Hall’’, having considered the same, report favorably thereon without amendment and recommend that the bill do

pass.

Pamela B. Gwin began her 15-year tenure at the Federal Executive Institute in 1983 as a faculty member. She received her Ph.D.

in Political Science from Duke University, and was a member of

the American Political Science Association, Organization of American Historians, Southern Historical Association, American Society

for Public Administration and was especially active in the American Society for Training and Development and the Center for the

Study of the Presidency.

Dr. Gwin educated her students in public policy, sharing her

deep interest in politics and the presidency. In 1987 she became

Assistant Director of Academic Programs and implemented the design and operation of the Leadership for a Democratic Society Program. Pam not only inspired her students to excel, but also touched

on every facet of the Federal Executive Institute, influencing the elegant design of the Virginia Study, the Alumni Lounge, along with

the design and furnishing of the new Annex and library.

Pam gave tirelessly to her students and everyone at the Federal

Executive Institute. She survived and continued working for two

years after receiving a heart transplant in 1996. Dr. Gwin died in

1998.

This is a fitting designation for a dedicated educator.

U.S. CONGRESS,

CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET OFFICE,

Washington, DC, April 12, 2000.

Hon. BUD SHUSTER, 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 April

11, 2000. CBO estimates that their enactment would have no significant impact on the federal budget, and would not affect direct
3

spending or receipts; therefore, pay-as-you-go procedures would not

apply. The legislation 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.

The bills reviewed are: • H.R. 1405, a bill to designate the federal building located

at 143 West Liberty Street, Medina, Ohio, as the ‘‘Donald J.

Pease Federal Building;’’ • H.R. 1571, a bill to designate the federal building under

construction at 600 State Street in New Haven, Connecticut, as

the ‘‘Merrill S. Parks, Jr., Federal Building;’’ • H.R. 1729, a bill to designate the federal facility located at

1301 Emmet Street in Charlottesville, Virginia, as the ‘‘Pamela

B. Gwin Hall;’’ and • H.R. 1901, a bill to designate the United States border station located in Pharr, Texas, as the ‘‘Kika de la Garza United

States Border Station.’’

If you wish further details on this estimate, we will be pleased

to provide them. The CBO staff contact is John R. Righter.

Sincerely,

STEVEN LIEBERMAN

(For Dan L. Crippen, Director).
