NORRIS COTTON BUILDING
JUNE 24 (legislative day JUNE 18), 1976.-Ordered to be printed
Mr. RANDOLPH, from the Committee on Public Works,
submitted the following
REPORT
[To accompany S. 3589]
The Committee on Public Works, to which was referred the bill
(S. 3589) to designate the Federal office building located in Man-
chester, New Hampshire, as the "Norris Cotton Building," having
considered the same, reports favorably thereon without amendment
and recommends that the bill do pass.
PURPOSE
The purpose of S. 3589 is to appropriately designate and name the
new Federal building at 275 Chestnut Street, Manchester, New Hamp-
shire, as the "Norris Cotton Building."
GENERAL STATEMENT
Former U.S. Senator Norris Cotton was born in Warren, New
Hampshire on May 11, 1900. He attended the Tilton School and
Phillips Exeter Academy, and at age 22 was elected to the New
Hampshire State Legislature. Senator Cotton graduated from Wes-
leyan University in 1923, and later worked his way through George
Washington University Law School by serving as a secretary to Sen-
ator George Moses. He was admitted to the New Hampshire Bar
Association in 1928.
At the beginning of his public service, Norris Cotton held several
State positions including Clerk of the State Senate, Prosecuting At-
torney for Grafton County, and Municipal Court Judge in Lebanon.
In 1946 he was elected to the House of Representatives where he served
four consecutive terms. After completing the unexpired term of the
late Senator Tobey, he was elected to three consecutive full terms in
the Senate.

There, as ranking minority member of the Committee on Commerce,
he played an important role in legislation dealing with aviation,
transportation, consumer protection, and space age communications.
His efforts as a ranking member of the Committee on Appropriations
were concentrated in the areas of labor, health, education, and wel-
fare, which he considered the most gratifying of his long career.
His deep humanitarian concern is universally recognized. Near his
hometown of Lebanon, the Norris Cotton Cancer Research Center
stands as a permanent monument in his honor. This is one of the most
important institutes of its kind in the world, attesting to Senator Cot-
ton's astute leadership in the never-ending struggle against disease.
Such acknowledgement by the Center and presentation to him of
the Robert Frost Contemporary American Award in 1975, represent
recognition of his outstanding characteristics as a man and public fig-
ure, and reflects appreciation of his ethics and patriotism during a
lifetime of dedicated service.
COMMITTEE VIEWS
By placing Norris Cotton's name on the new Federal Building in
Manchester, New Hampshire, the Committee considers it an appro-
priate tribute to his many patriotic and innovative contributions dur-
ing his 28 years of public service.
COST OF LEGISLATION
Section 252 (a) (1) of the Legislative Reorganization Act of 1970
required publication in this report of the Committee's estimate of the
cost of reported legislation, together with any estimates prepared by
Federal agencies. There is no cost to the Federal Government as a
result of this legislation. Accordingly, no Congressional Budget Office
report is included herein.
ROLLCALL VOTES
Section 133 of the Legislative Reorganization Act of 1970 and the
rules of the Committee on Public Works require that any rollcall
votes be announced in this report. During the Committee's considera-
tion of this bill, no rollcall votes were taken; the measure was unani-
mously ordered reported.
CHANGES IN EXISTING LAW
In compliance with subsection 4 of rule XXIX of the Standing
Rules of the Senate, it is reported that this bill effects no change in
existing law.
