Lincoln Memorial and the Washington MDnument o It is probable that
a structure on this site also would interfere with the, vistas along
tM Potomac Parkway, the Memorial Bridge and even Key Bridge This
lo' mission has proposed for many years and has recom nded to the
ao::zgress that future construction of office buildings and ethilar
raail.ities for the government be confined. to the area dasigiated
as the Fast Mall., that is, the area between the Capitol and the
An?acostia River. No further substantial structure should be inclum
le 3 in the Federal development area between the Capitol and. the
Potomac River to the west.
It will be noted that adequate provision haws been made f or
the use of some portions of the area for approaches to the Theodore
toosevelt Memorial Bridge and the West leg of the Inner Iooxn,, both
of which will require limited amounts of the area but will not
le tract from its use as public open space g
The Bureau of the Budget has advised that tyre is no
ob jeotion to the submission of this legislation to the Con/,Press,.
Respectfully :Tours,
