DAWSON, ARCHITECT OF THE CAPITOL, Washington, D.C., December 9, 1966. Chairman, Committee on Government Operations, MY DEAR MR. CHAIRMAN: In reply to an inquiry by a member of your staff concerning the inclusion of furniture, furnishings, and equipment procured for the Rayburn House Office Building by the Architect of the Capitol, the following information is submitted. Furniture and furnishings, which normally fall under the jurisdiction of the Clerk of the House, were transferred to his control as indicated by the following extract from a letter of the Architect of the Capitol, dated June 23, 1966: "Pursuant to direction of the House Office Building Commission, all furniture and furnishings purchased by the Architect of the Capitol for the Rayburn Building except restaurant furniture are hereby transferred to your jurisdiction and furniture and furnishings hereafter received will be transferred to you as outlined." The approximate value of the furniture, furnishings, and equipment thus transferred is $2,600,000. Restaurant furniture and equipment have been included elsewhere in the personal property inventory report. I hope the above information will enable you to include this property in your inventory report in an appropriate manner. Sincerely yours, J. GEORGE STEWART, |
