To designate the United States courthouse located at 709 West 9th Street in Juneau, Alaska, as the "Robert Boochever United States Courthouse".

Mr. Speaker, I move to suspend the rules and pass the bill (H.R. 4347) to designate the United States courthouse located at 709 West 9th Street in Juneau, Alaska, as the ``Robert Boochever United States Courthouse''.

Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent that all Members have 5 legislative days in which to revise and extend their remarks and include extraneous material on H.R. 4347.

Mr. Speaker, H.R. 4347 would designate the United States Courthouse in Juneau, Alaska, as the Robert Boochever United States Courthouse.

Judge Boochever served our country as a captain in the U.S. Army during World War II and then moved to Alaska in 1940, where he worked in the U.S. Attorney's Office and in private practice. In 1972, he was appointed to the Alaska

Supreme Court and served 3 years as the chief justice. In 1980, he was the first Alaskan appointed as a judge to the Federal Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals and served as a Federal judge for more than 30 years until his death in 2011.

Judge Boochever's commitment to the law and service made him a well- respected jurist, and so I am pleased to be the sponsor of this legislation. I support the passage of this legislation and urge my colleagues to do the same.

Mr. Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.

Mr. Speaker, I urge passage of this legislation, and I yield back the balance of my time.

Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume.

Mr. Speaker, H.R. 4347 designates the United States courthouse located at 709 West Ninth Street in Juneau, Alaska, as the Robert Boochever United States Courthouse.

Mr. Speaker, Judge Boochever will always be remembered for his outstanding legal expertise and his extraordinary role in the Juneau community, making it appropriate for the new United States courthouse in Juneau, Alaska, to be designated as the Robert Boochever United States Courthouse.

Mr. Speaker, I support this legislation and encourage my colleagues to support the legislation and I yield back the balance of my time.

Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the Senate

proceed to the immediate consideration of H.R. 4347, which is at the desk.

Mr. President, I further ask that the bill be read three times and passed, the motion to reconsider be laid on the table, with no intervening action or debate, and any statements related to the measure be printed in the Record at the appropriate place.
