The Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure, to whom

was referred the bill (S. 1794) to designate the Federal courthouse

at 145 East Simpson Avenue in Jackson, Wyoming, as the ‘‘Clifford

P. Hansen Federal Courthouse’’, having considered the same, report favorably thereon without amendment and recommend that

the bill do pass.

member of the Board of Trustees from 1946 until 1966. He served

as president of the University from 1955 to 1962. While a member

of the Board of Trustees, he became involved in cattle ranching,

which would lead to his involvement in land rights advocacy. He

served as an officer on the American National Cattlemen’s Association and the Livestock Research and Marketing Advisory Committee, and commissioner of the Columbia Interstate Compact and

the Snake River Compact. Senator Hansen was elected Governor of

Wyoming in 1963, where he served for a single term. After serving

as Governor, he was elected to the United State Senate in 1966.

He served from 1967 until he resigned from the Senate on New

Year’s Eve, 1978. During his tenure in the Senate, he was a leader

in granting states fair compensation for their natural resources.

President Reagan appointed him to the Committee on Federalism

in 1981, where he studied a variety of ways to reform the federal

government. Senator Hansen currently is a member of the board

of several financial and civic organizations and has received the

Distinguished Alumni Award from the University of Wyoming. He

lives in Jackson, Wyoming with his wife, Martha, and has two children, Mary and Peter.

U.S. CONGRESS,

CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET OFFICE,

Washington, DC, July 27, 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 July 26,

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. 4806, a bill to designate the Federal building located

at 1710 Alabama Avenue in Jasper, Alabama, as the ‘‘Carl Elliott Federal Building’’; and • S. 1794, an act to designate the Federal courthouse at 145

East Simpson Avenue in Jackson, Wyoming, as the ‘‘Clifford P.

Hansen Federal Courthouse.’’

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.)
