The Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure, to whom

was referred the bill (H.R. 1405) to designate the Federal building

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

J. Pease Federal Building’’, having considered the same, report favorably thereon without amendment and recommend that the bill

do pass.

Don Pease was born in Oberlin, Ohio in 1931 and attended Lincoln Grammar School in Toledo, and Scott High School. He received

his B.S. in 1953 and M.A. in 1955 from the University of Ohio in

Athens. Congressman Pease was a Fulbright scholar and continued

his studies at Kings College, University of Durham, England. He

served in the United States Army from 1955 until 1957 and returned to Ohio to work at the Oberlin News-Tribune. Congressman

Pease was first elected to public office in 1962 to the Oberlin City

Council. In 1964, he was elected to the Ohio Senate. He served in

the Ohio Legislature from 1965 until 1976, at which time he was

elected to the 95th Congress.

Congressman Pease was a member of the House International

Relations Committee and began his tenure in the House advocating

human rights. Five years later he secured a seat on the Ways and

Means Committee, and by the 102nd Congress earned one of three

seats on the Budget Committee reserved for Ways and Means

members. Congressman Pease’s efforts to work with both sides of

the aisle include service on the conference committee for the tax reform bill of 1986, and mediation between congressional leaders and

the Administration during the 1990 budget summit.

Since leaving Congress, Congressman Pease serves as Visiting

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

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).
