Presidential Building Proposed in Program
A 32.35 million plan urged construction of a large presidential office building and White House grounds expansion. It calls for razing the old State War Navy building west of the White House and placing a new staff office there, remodeling the west wing for visiting dignitaries, and building an executive office building across Pennsylvania Avenue. Congress already authorized the latter site, but action in this session seems unlikely amid economy concerns and opposition from House Speaker Rayburn to razing the State War Navy building. The report pins backing on the single plan for a presidential office building at the site, with seven alternatives offered.
