William Prox- mire, D-Wis., awarded his Golden Fleece award Sunday to U.S. District Court judges in Atlanta for making last-minute construction changes costing an extra $7 million in the ci­ ty's federal courthouse. 1 In a statement released by his office, Prox- mjre charged the judges with "fixing the jury on design and construction" at the building "and then serving the taxpayers with their bill for an extra $7 million." The U.S. courthouse is contained in the .recently built Richard B. Russell Federal Building. "The Atlanta judges really flipped their wigs, on this one, forcing the General Services Administration to make hundreds of last- minute design changes to ,su&.their whims. I rulq the Atlanta court totally out of order," Projxmire said. PROXMIRE GIVES the award monthly "to the most ridiculous, wasteful or ironic use of the taxpayers' money." "The $47 million Atlanta courthouse project was originally designed in the 1960s," Prox- mire said. "But in 1977, a good two years into the actual construction, the federal judges started making their demands." He said the changes included revamping the building's entire 22nd floor which "had already been finished ... when the judges decided to completely revamp the Clerk of the Court's filing system." "They wanted to install a new mechanized system that was so heavy, the entire concrete slab floor had to be gutted, the building cross- supports replaced, and the exterior building skin replaced. The judges' caprice created a gaping hole in the building for three months," Proxmiresaid. HE ALSO CRITICIZED the judges for building sik jury rooms to serve four cour­ trooms, adding a "seldom used chamber for ceremonial occasions," and giving orders to install "extra wood panelling behind each judge's chair and to trade in all the stainless steel rails and chair bases for more elegant brass fittings." "Congress is responsible for providing the courts with the funds necessary to run their own show," he said. "In Atlanta, the judges decided to go for tjie gold, prolonging the pro­ ject by a year and adding 11 percent to the original contract price," he said. Proxmire said a total 230 change orders were submitted, and the local Atlanta contrac­ tor sued the government for $18 million to coverttyea«|M}costs. , > "After n^fotiations with the GSA, the com­ pany reduced its claim to $7 million. But so far, the bill still hasn't been paid," he said.
