Mr. Shuster, from the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure,
submitted the following
R E P O R T
[To accompany H.R. 3295]
[Including cost estimate of the Congressional Budget Office]
The Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure, to whom
was referred the bill (H.R. 3295) to designate the Federal
building located at 1301 Clay Street in Oakland, California, as
the ``Ronald V. Dellums Federal Building'', having considered
the same, report favorably thereon without amendment and
recommend that the bill do pass.
Congressman Ronald V. Dellums was born in Oakland,
California on November 24, 1935. After two years of service in
the U.S. Marine Corps, Congressman Dellums received an
honorable discharge. He then followed educational pursuits and
received his A.A. degree from Oakland City College in 1958, his
B.A. from San Francisco State University in 1960, and his
M.S.W. from the University of California at Berkeley in 1962.
Congressman Dellums served on the Berkeley City Council
from 1967 to 1970. On November 3, 1970 he was elected to the
United States House of Representatives to represent northern
Alameda County which includes the cities of Alameda, Albany,
Berkeley, Emeryville, Oakland, and Piedmont.
Congressman Dellums' first major effort after arriving in
Washington was toward bringing about an end to the war in
Indochina. This experience led him to be a strong advocate for
arms reduction throughout his entire career. In addition,
Congressman Dellums championed issues involving civil rights,
equal rights for women, human rights, and the environment.
At the time of his retirement, Congressman Dellums was the
Ranking Member on the House National Security Committee. During
his tenure, Congressman Dellums also held the chairmanship of
the Committee on Armed Services and the Committee on the
District of Columbia. In addition, throughout his 27 year
career, Congressman Dellums served on a variety of other
committees and caucuses; including the Committee on Foreign
Affairs, the Committee on the Post Office and Civil Service,
the Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, and the
Congressional Black Caucus.

U.S. Congress,
Congressional Budget Office,
Washington, DC, May 6, 1998.
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 May
6, 1998. 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 of 1995 and would impose no costs
on state, local, or tribal governments. The bills reviewed are:
H.R. 2225, a bill to designate the federal building
and United States courthouse to be constructed on Las
Vegas Boulevard between Bridger Avenue and Clark Avenue
in Las Vegas, Nevada, as the ``Lloyd D. George Federal
Building and United States Courthouse;''
H.R. 2730, a bill to designate the federal building
located at 309 North Church Street in Dyersburg,
Tennessee, as the ``Jere Cooper Federal Building;''
H.R. 3295, a bill to designate the federal building
located at 1301 Clay Street in Oakland, California, as
the ``Ronald V. Dellums Federal Building;'' and
H.R. 3453, a bill to designate the federal building
and post office located at 100 East B Street, Casper,
Wyoming, as the ``Dick Cheney Federal Building.''
If you wish further details on this estimate, we will be
pleased to provide them. The CBO staff contact is John R.
Righter. This estimate was approved by Paul N. Van de Water,
Assistant Director for Budget Analysis.
Sincerely,
June E. O'Neill, Director.
