A bill to designate the Federal building located at 50 United Nations Plaza in San Francisco, California, as the "Senator Dianne Feinstein Federal Building," and for other purposes.

Madam President, I rise to speak in support of my bill to rename an iconic Federal building in San Francisco after my former colleague, mentor, and dear friend, the late Senator Dianne Feinstein.

Dianne was a towering figure not just in modern California politics but in the history of our State and our Nation. She broke barriers throughout her career. Her leadership as the first woman

to serve as the mayor of San Francisco in the aftermath of the tragic assassination of Mayor George Moscone and Supervisor Harvey Milk showcased her unique ability to lead with grace and strength in the face of adversity.

This bill would designate the Federal building at 50 United Nations Plaza in San Francisco as the ``Senator Dianne Feinstein Federal Building.'' Located just steps away from San Francisco City Hall, where Dianne served for 18 years, the Federal building is a cornerstone of the San Francisco Civic Center.

This Neoclassical building was completed in 1936 as part of the city's efforts to rebuild its Civic Center following the devastation caused by the 1906 earthquake. It received a major renovation in 2013 to upgrade building systems, restore historically significant architecture, and redesign office workspaces. In 2017, the building was added to the National Register of Historic Places.

Today, the six-story, 350,000-square-foot Federal building is home to the General Services Administration's Region 9 headquarters as well as Department of Education staff. The building is LEED Platinum certified, a well-known global standard given to the most sustainable and energy- efficient buildings. The building's renovation also received several prestigious awards, including the National Project Achievement Award from the Construction Management Association of America and the Preservation Design Award from the California Preservation Foundation.

Over the past several months, I have worked to introduce bills that would honor Dianne's lifetime of service by commemorating public spaces in her memory. The Federal building at 50 U.N. Plaza stands as a reminder of the responsibility that the Federal Government holds in serving the public. Dianne spent her life dedicated to that responsibility, and it is only fitting that we honor her by renaming this Federal building in her beloved hometown.

I thank Senator Butler for joining me in this effort, and I urge my colleagues to pass this bill as swiftly as possible.

Madam President, I ask unanimous consent that the Committee on Environment and Public Works be discharged from further consideration of S. 4489, and the Senate proceed to its immediate consideration.

I ask unanimous consent that the bill be considered read a third time and passed and that the motion to reconsider be considered made and laid upon the table.

Madam President, I ask unanimous consent that the text of the bill be printed in the Record.
