Edward Bruce has changed his mind and is now in favor of completing Mount Rushmore National Memorial. Bruce’s project to decorate federal buildings was approved and he suspects Representative Greenway played a role in its approval. He would also like to decorate the offices of members of Congress should they desire it, including Greenway’s office. Bruce suggests Greenway’s office could be decorated with pictures or paintings of Greenway’s favorite places in the West.
