I am very much aware of the need to fund the Richmond Federal courthouse. I am concerned, of course, about the funding needs for all of the Nation's courthouses. As the gentleman is aware, due to budget limitations, we have not provided funding for any new courthouse construction in this bill, but I would like to be helpful to him and to his constituents, and I am looking for the necessary funds to finance courthouse construction projects, including the Richmond Federal courthouse. I understand the importance of it to the Federal Judiciary and that it is a critical element of the revitalization of downtown Richmond.
