It is on this national stage that the great drama of our political life has been played.
Washington is not only the Nation's Capital, it is the symbol of America.
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.
No one in 150 years has been able to improve upon it.
