MEMORANDUM FOR: Deputy Director for Administration
SUBJECT : Fine Arts Commission Business
Three matters came up during our meeting of 5 August which
I pass to you for consideration:
1. has asked to be relieved of her member-
ship on the Commission. I have written her a letter of appreciation
honoring her request. I would like to have some new members on the
Commission, particularly folks interested in undertaking some of the
work involved. It occurs to me that you might wish to nominate, or
invite others to nominate, candidates for Commission membership.
If so, I would be glad to receive their names and talk with them.
If not, I will recruit them myself with the help of other Commission
members.
2. We appreciate your follow-up on my brief note of 8 June
concerning the state of the trees in the courtyards, and are pleased
to know that Logistics is following through on this problem as a
matter of high priority. We appeal to you for continued pressure
for progress on landscape matters.
3. In an effort to bring about some early improvement in the
appearance of the small North courtyard -- which has looked very bad
indeed for a very long period of time -- I initiated discussions with
President of the Agency's Garden Club, suggesting
znat >;ne uiuo m1 nL like to take on that courtyard as a Garden Club
project. joined us in our FAC meeting for a discussion of
the possi 1 1 Y. we learned that the Club is interested and willing
to undertake the project. The Commission agreed that it was a good
idea and that early improvement in the appearance of the Courtyard
was desirable. We agreed that the Garden Club should undertake the
effort as a temporary program, planting their displays in coordination
with longer-range reclamation and redesign plans for that courtyard.
The Commission asks your support for this Garden Club project. We
also request that some financial assistance be provided the Club for
planters, plants, and other necessary material, this financial help
to come from the allocation for FAC activities. The members of the

Garden Club are going to do the work themselves, except that which
may require heavy physical labor. They would work on Saturdays and
so will need weekend access to the Courtyard. Any activity they
undertake will be coordinated through the Fine Arts Commission with
the Office of Logistics. We request your approval and support.
