Our Government in Washington has grown greatly during the past 15 years.

Of all the honors which have been bestowed, I rate most highly the approval of my professional brethren as expressed in the John Fritz Medal...

It is the wish and the demand of the American people that our new buildings shall comport with the dignity of the Capital of America.

Washington is not only the Nation's Capital, it is the symbol of America.
