     Mr. Young of Alaska, from the Committee on Transportation and 
                Infrastructure, submitted the following

                              R E P O R T

                        [To accompany H.R. 5083]

      [Including cost estimate of the Congressional Budget Office]

    The Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure, to whom 
was referred the bill (H.R. 5083) to designate the United 
States courthouse at South Federal Place in Santa Fe, New 
Mexico, as the ``Santiago E. Campos United States Courthouse,'' 
having considered the same, report favorably thereon without 
amendment and recommend that the bill do pass.

                       PURPOSE OF THE LEGISLATION

    The purpose of this legislation is to designate the Federal 
Building at South Federal Place in Santa Fe, New Mexico as the 
``Santiago E. Campos United States Courthouse.''

                  BACKGROUND AND NEED FOR LEGISLATION

    Born December 25, 1926, in Santa Rosa, New Mexico, Judge 
Campos served in the United States Navy as a Seaman 1st Class 
from 1944 to 1946. After leaving the Navy, Judge Campos 
attended the Central College in Fayette, Missouri and received 
his law degree from the University of New Mexico in 1953, 
graduating first in his class. From 1954 until 1957, he worked 
as an Assistant Attorney General and subsequently as First 
Assistant Attorney General for the State of New Mexico. After 
14 years in private practice, Judge Campos was elected District 
Judge for the 1st Judicial District of New Mexico in 1971, and 
served in that capacity until 1978. In 1978 Judge Campos was 
appointed to the Federal Bench by President Jimmy Carter and 
began serving July 20, 1978. He held the title of Chief U.S. 
District Judge from February 5, 1987 to December 31, 1989, and 
took Senior Status December 26, 1992. Judge Campos died on 
January 20, 2002 after suffering a long bout with cancer.
    Judge Campos was very active in his courtroom, often 
exercising his right to question witnesses in the middle of 
cross-examinations. Many agree that he became more involved in 
a case than other judges, but still let a lawyer try his own 
case. One of his most memorable cases ordered the Gannett 
Company to return The New Mexican, Santa Fe's daily newspaper, 
to its former owner, Robert McKinney due to a breach of 
contract.
    New Mexico State Senators Pete Campos, Manny Aragon, Stuart 
Ingle and Richard Romero introduced and passed Senate Joint 
Memorial 66 earlier this year, which encouraged the New Mexico 
Congressional Delegation to rename the federal courthouse. The 
legislation has also received the unanimous endorsement of the 
Judges of the Tenth Circuit Court in New Mexico and the 
district judges of the District of New Mexico.
    During his career, Judge Campos was named an honorary 
member of the Order of the Coif. He also received the 
Distinguished Achievement Award of the State Bar of New Mexico 
in 1993, and in the same year the University of New Mexico 
honored him with a Distinguished Achievement Award. Judge 
Campos was the first Hispanic to serve as a Federal Judge in 
the District Court of New Mexico as well as being the first 
Hispanic to serve as its Chief Judge.

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

                                     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 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).

                   CONSTITUTIONAL AUTHORITY STATEMENT

    Pursuant to clause (3)(d)(1) of rule XIII of the Rules of 
the House of Representatives, committee reports on a bill or 
joint resolution of a public character shall include a 
statement citing the specific powers granted to the Congress in 
the Constitution to enact the measure. The Committee on 
Transportation and Infrastructure finds that Congress has the 
authority to enact this measure pursuant to its powers granted 
under article I, section 8 of the Constitution.

                       FEDERAL MANDATES STATEMENT

    The Committee adopts as its own the estimate of federal 
mandates prepared by the Director of the Congressional Budget 
Office pursuant to section 423 of the Unfunded Mandates Reform 
Act. (Public Law 104-4).

                        PREEMPTION CLARIFICATION

legislation.

                APPLICABILITY TO THE LEGISLATIVE BRANCH
