U.S. CONGRESS, 

CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET OFFICE, 

Washington, DC, September 27, 2002. 

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 legislation, as ordered reported by the House 

Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure on September 25, 

2002: • H.R. 5083, a bill to designate the United States courthouse 

at South Federal Place in Santa Fe, New Mexico, as the 

‘‘Santiago E. Campos United States Courthouse’’; and • H.R. 5335, a bill to designate the federal building and 

United States courthouse located at 200 West 2nd Street in 

Dayton, Ohio, as the ‘‘Tony Hall Federal Building and United 

States Courthouse.’’ 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. 

These 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 Matthew Pickford. 

Sincerely, 

BARRY B. ANDERSON

(For Dan L. Crippen, Director).
