Gift Building Not
To Become Reality
Washington - IUPU - The idea
of a proposed water resources
educational building as a gift
to the United States appears
to be a long way from reality.
There is not enough avail
able land in the area where
the bureau of water resources
of the National Rivers and
Harbors congress wants to
construct its monumental gift.
In January, trustees of the
bureau, a private group,
agreed to ask the Interior de
partment for space on Nation
al Capital Parks land on
which to build a proposed
structure 360 feet by 285 feet,
exclusive of grounds and
parking areas.
The bureau asked that the
proposed building be "appro
priately situated with respect
to the buildings occupied by
the legislative and executive
branches of the government."
This means the proposed
building, "dedicated tn the
education of the people in the
field of water," would be some

crowded complex of govern
ment structures.
Request Passed
Secretary of Interior Stew.
art L. Udall passed the request
for a long-term concession
contract to Assistant Secre
tary John A. Carver Jr., in
charge of Public Land Man
agement. Carver called in T.
Sutton Jett, director of the
National Capital Parks which
has charge of all public lands
in the District of Columbia.
Carver and Jett told the bu
reau it was "just not possi
ble" to supply such an area in
the central part of Washing
ton. "Both Carver and I liked
the idea," Jett told UPI, "but
the acreage is not available.
We tried not to be too dis
heartening to the bureau, but
we didn't see how the land in
the area desired could be
made available."
Carver and Jett suggested
other areas away from down
town Washington. Otherwise,
the government officials have
done nothing about the bu
reau's request.
William H. Webb, execu
tive vice president of the Na
tional Rivers and Harbors con
gress, said no progress has
been made on the building.
rle Indicated none would bt
made until land becomes
available.
The bureau of water re
sources submitted -to the de
partment an artist's concep
tion sketch of the proposed
gift. The bureau has not hired
an architect and has no blueprints.
