He later earned his law degree from Case Western University in Cleveland, Ohio. C.B. King was a cooperating attorney with the NAACP Legal Defense and Education Fund starting in 1964. He was the lead attorney in three school desegregation cases throughout Georgia. In an early civil rights movement in Albany, Georgia known as the ``Albany Movement,'' King lead the way to ensure the right to peaceably assemble and demonstrate. He also represented African American voters and candidates for office in the fight against unconstitutional segregation and discrimination. In rural Georgia, King argued a series of lawsuits that exposed discriminatory practices in the selection of jurors violating the Fourteenth Amendment. Through these lawsuits racial and sex discrimination were eliminated from jury selection. His actions lead to the passage of the Jury Selection and Service Act of 1968. King also argued a number of cases that strengthened provisions in the Civil Rights Act of 1964 regarding equal opportunities for African Americans. This designation is a fitting honor to a dedicated civil rights pioneer. committee consideration On March 23, 2000, the Committee met in open session and ordered reported S. 1567, as amended, designating the United States courthouse under construction in Albany, Georgia as the ``C.B.

U.S. Congress, Congressional Budget Office, Washington, DC, March 29, 2000. Hon. Bud Shuster, Chairman, Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure, House of Representatives, Washington, DC. Dear Mr. Chairman: The Congressional Budget Office has reviewed the following legislation, which was ordered reported by the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure on March 23, 2000. 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 legislation contains 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. The bills reviewed are:H.R. 1359, a bill to designate the federal building and United States courthouse to be constructed at 10 East Commerce Street in Youngstown, Ohio, as the ``Frank J. Battisti and Nathaniel R. Jones Federal Building and United States Courthouse''; and S. 1567, an act to designate the United States courthouse located at 223 Broad Street in Albany, Georgia, as the ``C.B. King United States Courthouse.'' If you wish further details on this estimate, we will be pleased to provide them. The CBO staff contact is John R. Righter. Sincerely, Barry B. Anderson (For Dan L. Crippen, Director). constitutional authority statement Pursuant to clause 3(d)(1) of rule XIII of the Rules of the House of Representatives, committee reports on a bill or joint resolution of a public character shall include a statement citing the specific powers granted to the Congress in the Constitution to enact the measure.
