MEMORANDUM FOR: Director of Central Intelligence

Executive Director
Deputy Director for Administration
FROM: Bruce T. Johnson
Chairman, Fine Arts Commission
SUBJECT: Portrait Bust of Vice President Bush
1. Vincent Melzac, whose art collection is the source of
the art works on display in the main concourse of the
Headquarters building, has a number of miniature bronze statues
by a sculptor named Marc Mellon. The Fine Arts Commission has
arranged to borrow these bronzes, which depict gymnasts in
various athletic poses, for a display in the exhibit hall in
April 1983.
2. Mr. Mellon has just completed a portrait bust of Vice
President Bush, and Mr. Melzac, who sponsored the sculpture, has
offered to ask Mr. Bush if we might borrow the piece and include
it in our exhibit of Mr. Mellon's work. In view of Mr. Bush's
past association with CIA, the presence of the portrait bust in
the exhibit would add greatly to its interest for CIA employees.
3. It seemed appropriate to obtain your approval before
accepting Mr. Melzac's offer. Have you any objection?
