Excerpt: . . . ed Federal dollars, to build courthouses in the future which accommodate a courtroom for every single judge. I look forward to your testimony on this proposal. Well start our hearing, but prior to doing that we have several Senators here today that would like to make statements. Our first Senator that arrived was Senator Boxer. OPENING STATEMENT OF HON. BARBARA BOXER, U. S. SENATOR FROM THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA Senator Boxer. Well, Mr. Chairman, youre very gracious to permit me this very short period of time. I will conclude my remarks in 1 minute. Id ask unanimous consent that I may place in the record my full statement and a statement of Terry Hatter, Jr. , Chief U. S. District Judge of the Central District of California. Mr. Chairman, let me just say, in summarizing my statement, I am very distressed, having followed two particular courthouses now for years--Los Angeles and Fresno--as to what has happened to these projects in the Presidents budget and what GSA is recommending. To put it succinctly, I believe that the record would show that the way they are reconfiguring the Los Angeles courthouse, which is so desperately needed, would compromise security and efficiency, and it calls for two buildings to be used instead of one. Wed have to require links for prisoner, public, and staff circulation. We dont know where a companion building could be erected. Were very distressed. We thought we had this all done, and now this has come up. Second, the situation in Fresno, where we have a design, everybody is happy, and theres not a penny in there. I would conclude by just saying this--because I, again, dont want to take the subcommittees time--this is really serious business in my State. We are growing now from 34 million people to more than 50 million people, Mr. Chairman, by the year 202. . . This item ships from La Vergne,TN., RareBooksClub<
