Idaho Senator Weldon B Heyburn urged a $15,000,000 plan to buy land south of Pennsylvania Avenue between the Treasury and Capitol, terrace it as a park, and build twenty or more federal buildings with rooms and access from below, aiming to centralize offices and beautify Washington for future decades. He predicted a favorable House outcome and noted the government now pays rent on rented buildings.
