NOTICE TO THE PRESS
The President has signed S.J. Res. 123 - Portrait and bust of former
Chief Justice Earl Warren which authorizes the procurement of a portrait
and a marble bust of former Chief Justice Warren for the Supreme Court
Building.
Each Chief Justice of the Supreme Court is represented in the Supreme
Court Building by a portrait. Chief Justices from Jay to Taft are repre-
sented by a marble bust in the Capitol Building and Chief Justices Taft,
Hughes, Stone, and Vinson are each represented by a marble bust in the
main hall of the Court. This bill continues a tradition of nearly 200
years.
This bill a uthorizes the Marshal of the Court to procure an oil portrait
and a marble bust of former Chief Justice Warren. The Marshal will be
subject to the direction and approval of the Chief Justice.
The bill further authorizes appropriation of $25, 000 for this purpose.
Procurement of a portrait and bust of former Chief Justice Vinson in
1957 cost $5,000 each. The Architect of the Capitol and court officials
estimate that a similar portrait and bust costs $10,000 at present.
