PURPOSE AND SUMMARY

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

the report of the Congressional Budget Office below.

U.S. CONGRESS,

CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET OFFICE,

Washington, DC, May 17, 2001.

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 bills, which were ordered reported by the

House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure on May 16,

2001:

3

• H.R. 495, a bill to designate the Federal building located

in Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas, United States Virgin Islands,

as the ‘‘Ron de Lugo Federal Building’’; and • H.R. 819, a bill to designate the Federal building located

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

Pease 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.

The 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 Lanette J. Walker.

Sincerely,

BARRY B. ANDERSON

(For Dan L. Crippen, Director).
