  Mr. BOOZMAN. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume.    H.R. 6340 designates the Federal building and United States Courthouse located in White Plains, New York, as the ``Charles L. Brieant, Jr. Federal Building and United States Courthouse.''   Charles Brieant served as the Chief Judge of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York from 1986 until 1993. His original appointment to the bench by President Nixon in 1971 began a 36-year career with the Southern District Court.   Prior to his service on the Federal bench, Judge Brieant served honorably in the United States Army Air Force during World War II. After his service in the Armed Forces, Judge Brieant returned to Columbia University, where he had begun his college education before being called into the service, and graduated in 1947. He received his law degree in 1949 and began a life of public service, working as a town justice, assistant district attorney, town supervisor, and a county legislator.   It is fitting that we give Judge Brieant's name to the courthouse where he served for so many years. Judge Brieant worked for many years to help build the courthouse in White Plains and another in Manhattan. He was particularly proud of the White Plains courthouse which opened in 1995. His work helped ensure that new courthouses would meet the needs of the court for many years.   As we honor him today by naming this Federal building and courthouse, we ensure that Judge Brieant, who passed away just last week, will not be forgotten. Judge Brieant leaves behind his wife of 60 years, Virginia Brieant, three daughters and a son, nine grand-children and two great-grandchildren.   We hope that the naming of this courthouse will bring comfort to his family in their time of loss, and honor his legacy of service to the court.   Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time.
