                Memorandum of January 20, 2025

                
Promoting Beautiful Federal Civic Architecture

                Memorandum for the Administrator of the General 
                Services Administration

                I hereby direct the Administrator of the General 
                Services Administration, in consultation with the 
                Assistant to the President for Domestic Policy and the 
                heads of departments and agencies of the United States 
                where necessary, to submit to me within 60 days 
                recommendations to advance the policy that Federal 
                public buildings should be visually identifiable as 
                civic buildings and respect regional, traditional, and 
                classical architectural heritage in order to uplift and 
                beautify public spaces and ennoble the United States 
                and our system of self-government. Such recommendations 
                shall consider appropriate revisions to the Guiding 
                Principles for Federal Architecture and procedures for 
                incorporating community input into Federal building 
                design selections.

                If, before such recommendations are submitted, the 
                Administrator of the General Services Administration 
                proposes to approve a design for a new Federal public 
                building that diverges from the policy set forth in 
                this memorandum, the Administrator shall notify me, 
                through the Assistant to the President for Domestic 
                Policy, not less than 30 days before the General 
                Services Administration could reject such design 
                without incurring substantial expenditures. Such 
                notification shall set forth the reasons the 
                Administrator proposes to approve such design.

                    (Presidential Sig.)

                THE WHITE HOUSE,

                    Washington, January 20, 2025
