THOMAS JEFFERSON TERRITORIAL EXPANSION MEMORIAL.
1. A proposed Executive order approving the establishment and
authorizing the construction of the Thomas Jefferson Terri-
torial Expansion Memorial, in accordance with the plans and
specifications of the United States Territorial Expansion
Commission at an estimated cost of $30,000,000, recites:
That the United States Territorial Expansion Memorial
Commission created pursuant to public resolution approved
June 15, 1934, recommended in its report of May 1, 1935, the
establishment and construction of a permanent memorial,
on the site and in accordance with the plans given in the report,
at an estimated total cost of $30,000,000; that the city of
St. Louis, Missouri, has agreed to contribute the sum of
$7,500,000 to the estimated cost of the construction of the
memorial; that the State of Missouri has consented to the
acquisition by the United States of the lands necessary for
such project; that the memorial will commemorate the terri-
torial expansion of the United States and preserve the his-
torical associations connected therewith for the benefit,
education, and inspiration of the American people; and that
the President finds that the construction of the Memorial
will provide work relief and increase employment by pro-
viding for a useful project. It appears that only a part of
the sum of $22,500,000 to be contributed by the Government
for the proposed project is now available. 362.

2. Same.-Held: (1) The proposed project is one which the President is authorized to adopt and prosecute under title II of the National Industrial Recovery Act and the Emergency Relief Appropriation Act of 1935. 362.

3. Same.-(2) The President has no authority to commit the Congress to future appropriations for the proposed project,

THOMAS JEFFERSON TERRITORIAL EXPANSION MEMORIAL-Con. and the Government may not legally accept the sum of $7,500,000 from the City of St. Louis unless the authorization for the project provides for its construction and completion with funds now available and at the disposal of the President. 362.

4. Same.-(3) Since the full sum of $22,500,000 required to be contributed by the President is not now available for the project the proposed Executive order is unauthorized. 362. 5. Same.

(4) If the Congress should adopt this project as a Federal project, to be constructed at a cost of $30,000,000, the City of St. Louis to contribute $7,500,000 and the Government $22,500,000, the President would be authorized to adopt such portion of the project as he might desire, as a project to be carried out under title II of the National Industrial Recovery Act and the Emergency Relief Appropriation Act of 1935, and also to allocate thereto such funds as might then be available under the latter Act and to proceed immediately with the expenditure of such allocation.
