Lincoln Grammar School and Scott High School in Toledo, Ohio.
He received his B.S. in 1953 and M.A. in 1955 from the
University of Ohio in Athens. Congressman Pease was a Fulbright
scholar and continued his studies at Kings College, University
of Durham, England. He served in the United States Army from
1955 until 1957 and returned to Ohio to work at the Oberlin
News-Tribune. Congressman Pease was first elected to public

Congressman Pease was a member of the House International

and Means members. Congressman Pease's efforts to work with
both sides of the aisle include service on the Conference
Committee for the Tax Reform bill of 1986, and mediation
between congressional leaders and the Administration during the
1990 budget summit.
Since leaving Congress, Congressman Pease serves as
Visiting Distinguished Professor in Oberlin College's

compliance with house rule xiii
1. With respect to the requirement of clause 3(c)(2) of
rule XIII of the Rules of the House of Representatives, and
section 308(a) of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974, the
Committee references the report of the Congressional Budget
Office below.
2. With respect to clause 3(c)(4) of rule XIII of the Rules
of the House of Representatives, the Committee advises that the

from the Director of the Congressional Budget Office.
U.S. Congress,
Congressional Budget Office,
Washington, DC, May 17, 2001.
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 bills, which were ordered reported by
the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure on May
16, 2001:
H.R. 495, a bill to designate the Federal
building located in Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas,
United States Virgin Islands, as the ``Ron de Lugo
Federal Building''; and
H.R. 819, a bill to designate the Federal
building located at 143 West Liberty Street, Medina,
Ohio, as the ``Donald J. Pease Federal Building.''
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 and would impose no 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 Lanette J.
Walker.
Sincerely,
Barry B. Anderson
(For Dan L. Crippen, Director).
