to bear in mind that we should have advice from just one individual

entire building and who would be available to serve on a continuing
basis as we identify other areas requiring the services of *pro-

will be the responsibility of the DDS, however we suggest that this
be done in coordination with the Chairman of the Fine Arts Commis-
