a. Request by Credit Union for Non-Standard
Door Color
reconfiguration of the Credit Union, they have
submitted a request for use of a non-standard door
color. There will be one double door in the center as
the only entrance for the public. They have requested
the door be a non-standard shade of blue. It was the
concensus that this request not be approved and that
they use a standard color for the door.

b. New Treatment for Printing on Walls of
Headquarters Lobby
made a suggestion that the
engraving on the Memorial Wall in the lobby be
highlighted with gold leaf. He said that one of the
reasons this wall is so difficult to photograph at
present is that the color of the marble and the color
of the cut are so similar. The gold leaf would impart
a classic look and make the engraving more readable.
The Commission was far more sympathetic to this
request than it had been to an early suggestion that
the stars and letters be painted. asked
the members to look at the lobby and call him with
their reactions. If a majority approve,
will arrange for a formal request to the DDA through
the FAC. (All who called favored the gold leaf. Ms.

gold leaf by the person who had designed the memorial
wall would cost approximately
c. Employee Suggestion re Names for Buildings,
Gates and Roads within the Agency Compound
The Commission discussed an employee suggestion
that names be given to Agency buildings, gates, roads,
etc. within the Agency compound. The members' views
were somewhat mixed. There was general agreement that
-there is nothing to be gained in giving parts of the
building specific names--no one would use them and the
necessary signs would detract from the building.
There was more support for naming the roads, but some
reservation about the signs which would be required to
mark the drives. It was also noted that the road net
is now, because of the construction of the annex, in a
state of flux. After discussion, it was decided that
this suggestion not be adopted at this time.

d. Safety of New Cigarette/Paper Waste Disposal
Receptacles
brought to the attention of the
Commission a memo from Mr. Fitzwater responding to an
inquiry from an employee concerning the safety of the
new cigarette/paper waste disposal receptacles
recently placed in the elevator lobbies of
Headquarters Building. The employee had expressed
concern that these new receptacles might present a
fire hazard. Mr. Fitzwater advised that these
receptacles were approved by the Safety Staff. They
are stainless steel mounted on non-combustible walls
and contain plastic liners for trash in the lower
portion. The liners are combustible but do not
sustain flame. A small fire could result but would be
contained in the lower portion of the receptacle. The
receptacles are not considered to present a fire
hazard to the employees or the building.
6. The next meeting of the FAC was to have been held on
13 August but instead will be held on Monday 6 August 1984 at
1100 hours in Room 7D32. There will not be a July meeting.
