“H.R. 2804, introduced by the gentlewoman from California (Ms. Pelosi), is a bill to designate the United States Courthouse located at 95 Seventh Street in San Francisco in honor of Judge James R. Browning. Since President Kennedy appointed him to the Federal bench in 1961, Judge Browning has served the public for over 40 years. In 1976, Judge Browning became the Chief Judge for the Ninth Circuit, the largest court in the country, and he served in that capacity for 12 years. He is a prolific writer and worker, publishing over 1,000 appellate decisions and authoring many other per curiam opinions. He is richly deserving of having this courthouse named after him, and I want to thank the gentlewoman from California (Ms. Pelosi) and the other Members of the delegation from California for introducing this bill.”
