	01:37:50 PM	There was a discussion about funding to care for and move the statue. Mr. Lee indicated that the insurance project will take care of cleaning the statue.

	01:46:16 PM	There was a discussion about the committee budget, $10,000 per year. Perhaps these funds could be used for future presidential portraits. The committee will need to memorialize use of funds for this purpose.

Committee funds could be used for art memorials or historic preservation. Maintaining presidential portraits falls within this scope.

The committee would vote to expend funds. The Executive Committee of Legislative Council would make the final approval of the expenditure of funds.
