James Norton said "Mr. Speaker, S. 2032 is a bill to designate the Federal building in Juneau, Alaska as Hurff A. Saunders. Mr. Saunders was a lifelong Alaskan who helped write chapters of Alaskan history. He was the civil engineer for the United States Coast Guard and in charge of constructing the Juneau Federal building, which was completed on budget and on schedule. Mr. Saunders later supervised the many public works projects for the territory and later for the State of Alaska. His work on correcting the navigational charts for the waters in southeast Alaska aided the Navy and the Coast Guard during World War II. Mr. Saunders was widely respected and viewed as a dedicated public servant, a devoted father, and beloved husband who lived a full life and died peacefully at the age of 94. It is fitting, and in recognition of his outstanding contributions to Alaskan life, that the Federal building in Juneau, Alaska be designated the Hurff A. Saunders Building." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
