Dear Mr. Lynn:
By referral memorandum dated August 4, 1975, the Assistant Director for
Legislative Reference requested the views of the General Services
Administration on H.R. 4241, an enrolled bill "To designate the
John C. Kluczynski Federal Building."
We have reviewed the enrolled bill and feel that this is a fitting
tribute to Congressman Kluczynski who, prior to his death, ably
served the 5th Congressional District of Illinois for twenty-four
years.
GSA strongly supports Presidential approval of the enrolled bill.
Sincerely,

No. 94-186
JOHN C. KLUCZYNSKI FEDERAL BUILDING
MAY. 1, 1975.-Referred to the House Calendar and ordered to be printed
Mr. JONES of Alabama, from the Committee on Public Works and
Transportation, submitted the following
REPORT
[To accompany H.R. 4241]
The Committee on Public Works and Transportation, to whom was
referred the bill (H.R. 4241) to designate the John C. Kluczynski
Federal Building, having considered the same, report favorably
thereon without amendment and recommend that the bill do pass.
PURPOSE
The purpose of H.R. 4241 is to designate the Federal office building
at 230 South Dearborn Street, Chicago, Ill., as the "John C. Kluczyn-
ski Federal Building".
GENERAL STATEMENT
John C. Kluczynski began his public life in 1932 when he was
elected to the Illinois State Legislature. After continuous service in
the legislature, he was elected in 1948 to the State senate. On Novem-
ber 7, 1950, he was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives and
reelected to each succeeding Congress until his death on January 27,
1975.
He served for over 24 years on the House Public Works Committee,
the last 10 years of which he spent as the chairman of the Subcom-
mittee on Transportation and its predecessor the Subcommittee on
Roads. In his capacity as chairman, he was the driving force behind
the construction of the Interstate Highway System-the backbone of
our national transportation system. This system will serve as a perma-
nent legacy of his foresight and wisdom.
Congressman Kluczynski was extremely instrumental in bringing
about the dredging of the Calumet River and for major improvements
in the St. Lawrence Seaway.
Congressman Kluczynski was also a member of the House Select
Committee on Small Business. He was chairman of the Small Busi-
38-006
2
ness Problems and Smaller Towns and Urban Areas Subcommittee.
He also chaired the House Restaurant Committee.
John Kluczynski was the dean of Chicago's congressional delegation
and was loved and respected by all. Possessed with a pugnacious spirit,
keen political insight and a delightful sense of humor, "KLU" as he
was known by his friends was one of the hardest working Members
of Congress. He was forthright and eloquent in his belief in our system
of Government and the American way of life. He was proud of his
Polish-American heritage. He served the Congress and his constituents
with commitments and devotion and was always a credit to the Con-
gress he loved SO much.
COSTS OF THE LEGISLATION
Clause 7 (a) of rule XIII of the Rules of the House of Representa-
tives requires a statement of the estimated cost to the United States
which would be incurred in carrying out H.R. 4241, as reported. There
would be no costs resulting from enactment of H.R. 4241, as reported.
VOTE
The committee ordered the bill reported by voice vote.
COMPLIANCE WITH CLAUSE 2(1) OF RULE XI OF THE RULES OF THE HOUSE
OF REPRESENTATIVES
(1) With reference to clause 2 (1) (3) (A) of rule XI of the Rules of
the House of Representatives, no separate hearings were held on the
subject matter of this legislation by the Subcommittee on Investiga-
tions and Review. However, the Subcommittee on Public Buildings
and Grounds held hearings on this subject matter which resulted in
the reported bill.
(2) With respect to clause 2(1) (3) (B) of rule XI of the Rules of
the House of Representatives the bill, as reported, does not provide
new budget authority or increased tax expenditures. Accordingly, a
statement pursuant to section 308 (a) of the Congressional Budget Act
is not required.
(3) With reference to clause 2(1) (3) (C) of rule XI of the Rules of
the House of Representatives, the committee has not received an esti-
mate and comparison prepared by the Director of the Congressional
Budget Office under section 403 of the Congressional Budget Act.
(4) With reference to clause (1) (3) (D) of rule XI of the Rules of
the House of Representatives, the Committee has not received a report
for the Committee on Government Operations pertaining to this sub-
ject matter.
(5) With reference to clause 2(1) (4) of rule XI of the Rules of the
House of Representatives, H.R. 4241, as reported, will not affect prices
and costs since it does not authorize additional funds. Therefore, H.R.
4241, as reported, would not have an inflationary impact on the na-
tional economy.
