Attachments 94TH CONGRESS HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES REPORT 1st Session 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. H.R. 186 Calendar No. 337 94TH CONGRESS SENATE REPORT 1st Session No. 94-348 DESIGNATING A FEDERAL BUILDING IN CHICAGO, ILL., AS THE JOHN C. KLUCZYNSKI FEDERAL BUILDING JULY 31, 1975.-Ordered to be printed Mr. RANDOLPH, from the Committee on Public Works, submitted the following REPORT [To accompany H.R. 4241] The Committee on Public Works, to which was referred the Act (H.R. 4241) to designate the John C. Kluczynski Federal Building, having considered the same, reports favorably thereon without amend- ment and recommends that the act do pass. PURPOSE The purpose of H.R. 4241 is to designate the Federal office building at 230 South Dearborn Street in Chicago, Ill., as the "John C. Kluczynski Federal Building." GENERAL STATEMENT John C. Kluczynski began his public life in 1932 when he was elected to the Illinois State Legislature. Following 16 years of service in the legislature, he was elected in 1948 to the State senate. On November 7, 1950, he was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives and reelected to each succeeding Congress until his death on Janu- ary 27, 1975. During more than 24 years in the House, Congressman Kluczynski served on the House Public Works Committee; the last 10 years he served as the chairman of the Subcommittee on Transportation and its predecessor the Subcommittee on Roads. In his capacity as chair- man, he was the driving force behind the construction of the Interstate Highway System-the backbone of our national transportation system. 57-010 2 Congressman Kluczynski was also 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, and chairman of its Small Business 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 served the Congress and his constituents with commitments and devotion and was always a credit to the Congress he loved SO much. COMMITTEE VIEWS The Committee believes it would be most appropriate to name a Federal building in honor of the distinguished late Congressman from Illinois.
